Hi @Roshni Patel Thanks for reaching out. There is no concept of dead letter queue in Azure Event Grid. When Event Grid can't deliver an event within a certain time period or after trying to deliver the event a certain number of times, it can send the undelivered event to a storage account. This process is known as dead-lettering. To enable it you must specify a storage account to hold undelivered events when creating the event subscription. you can delete those events from the storage containers for more information please refer:
