Microsoft Purview account failed to provision with unknown internal exception and now I can't delete it

Good Morning,

I wonder if anyone could help me...

Initial Microsoft Purview account provisioning completed with this error message:

The Microsoft Purview account 'XXXXXXX' failed to provision. Error: Unknown internal exception. Please contact support with the correlationId and timestamp. 

I tried to delete the Purview account - but deleting it is failing too - i.e. it's hanging for hours without any timeout.... Apparently it's Microsoft internal automation processing error under the hood but now how could I delete the failed one and reprovision the working one?

It's a POC subscription without any support plan and it looks like I can't create support request to get that fixed without purchasing support plan... Not sure why should I pay for something that is not properly delivered by the vendor....
