Answer 1

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Ensure that there are no dependencies or resources associated with the lab that might be preventing its deletion. You might need to manually delete or detach any resources or configurations associated with the lab before you can delete the lab itself.

Make sure that the resource you’re trying to delete is in a state that allows deletion. If the resource is in a transitional state or is being used by another process, it might not be able to be deleted.

Retrying the delete operation after a short period can resolve the issue.

Hi Simran Kaur,

Thanks for getting back with us, we understand that you are still facing the issue, we will provide you with more details to help you resolve it! Here are some additional suggestions you can try.

You can unstuck Delete operation by using Azure portal: Go to Resource Group in the Azure Portal, Find the resource that is stuck in the "Deleting" state. Look for an option to Cancel the delete operation.

Try using the --no-wait flag to avoid waiting for the operation to complete synchronously: az lab delete --resource-group <YourResourceGroupName> --name <YourLabAccountName> --no-wait

Make sure that the resource group name, lab account name, and other relevant details are correct and accurate.

You can use the Azure REST API to forcefully delete the resource. Here’s how to send a DELETE request: curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>" \ "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<your_subscription_id>/resourceGroups/<YourResourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.LabServices/labaccounts/<YourLabAccountName>?api-version=2019-01-01-preview"

Make sure you replace <your_access_token>, <your_subscription_id>, <YourResourceGroupName>, and <YourLabAccountName> with your actual values. To get Access token use command: az account get-access-token --query accessToken --output tsv

You can also delete Lab by using Azure portal.
