Microsoft azure resource group will not delete

Question

My resource group wont delete. There is also a virtual network attached to it which wont delete as well. Azure tells me there is a network interface attached, but it wont show up in my portal. In my resource explorer it does show up and when I try to delete it, it says successfully deleted, but it does not delete and I can still see it in the resource explorer. In my azure notifications it gives me an error "ajaxextended call failed" after failing to delete. Horrible service from Microsoft Azure. Can anyone help me out ?

Hi Mohammed,

There might someother dependant services that was linked to the resources and before deleting or removing delegation the main services was removed, I will suggest to raise a case with MS via the portal as this will require some access from the backend

@Mohammed Abdul Majeed Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A. Sorry that you are facing this issue.
Here are few things you can try:

You can force Update the Network Interface with Azure CLI, PowerShell, or through Resources.Azure.com

-Using Azure Cloud Shell:

CLI Update Network Interface: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/network/nic?view=azure-cli-latest

-Using Resources.Azure.com:

Find the Network Interface through Subscriptions > (Subscription Name) > resourceGroups > (ResourceGroup Name) > providers > Microsoft.Network > networkInterfaces > (Interface Name)
Edit then PUT to force the resource to update with Azure if it's stuck in a deletion, or updating state.

Reference post: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/141385/cannot-delete-resource-group-because-of-network-in.html

However, if none of these suggestions work for you, I would recommend creating a support request since the resources would then need to be removed from the backend with the help of support engineer.

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or if you do not have a support plan to create a support request. I can help you create one. Thanks.
