Hi Kavita,

This situation comes sometimes when the resource removal is not followed as per Microsoft recommendation.

What kind of error message you see while trying to delete the resources?

You can try a force Update of the resources through resources.Azure.com portal in the following way

Visit resources.Azure.com portal and sign-in with your account.

Find the Resource group and Vault: Subscription Name > resourceGroups > ResourceGroup Name > providers > Microsoft.Resources > deployments > find the vault you created there as below:

Now, on the right-hand side window, of the resource group, try a force refresh by the 'PUT' button followed by 'EDIT' to do a force refresh of the resource group.

Try deleting the resources after the step 3 is completed.

If that doesn't help, you can try delete the deployment as indicated below and try a manual delete:

Hope, the above steps helps !

Hi @Manu Philip

I can not see any API in the left hand side , in the middle panel there is Vault vault-AzureFileShareDemo but i can not delete this due to cancelled subscription. Kindly help to disable/delete the resource group and vault. As this is costing me for daily basis.

Thanks

Are you seeing a Storage Accounts under “Backup Infrastructure”

Navigating to Recovery Vault -> Backup Infrastructure -> Storage Accounts and check it.

Unregister the account just following the triple dots, right next to the Storage Account name and delete it.

Now try to delete the Recovery service Vault and see it works !

Have you tried following the steps I provided in my first answer to force refresh/delete the resources? Here you need to perform the similar steps on the storage account

Please try the command to Disables protection for a Backup-protected item

Disable-AzRecoveryServicesBackupProtection -Item $PI[0] -RemoveRecoveryPoints -VaultId $vault.ID
