Unable to delete VNet due to AppServiceLink

Question

Hi,I am having issue removing a Vnet. The subnet had a serviceAssociationLinks/AppServiceLink. However, that AppService is long gone. Each time I try to delete the subnet or vnet, I get the following error:

Failed to delete virtual network 'jpedrini-dcc8982ad5-vnet'. Error: Subnet jpedrini-dcc8982ad5-appsubnet is in use by /subscriptions/710f60ea-8116-4aa0-be0c-f3894b0e5302/resourceGroups/RG_WORDPRESS/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/jpedrini-dcc8982ad5-vnet/subnets/jpedrini-dcc8982ad5-appsubnet/serviceAssociationLinks/AppServiceLink and cannot be deleted. In order to delete the subnet, delete all the resources within the subnet. See aka.ms/deletesubnet.

How can I remove this resource?

Thank you,

Hello @Jackson Pedrini ,

I understand that you were unable to delete an Azure VNet due to an existing AppServiceLink and you don't remember the previous App service plan name to recreate the link for further troubleshooting.

We created a support request to delete the AppServiceLink from the backend.

The support team engaged the backend team and they deleted the Orphaned Service Association Link, post which you were able to delete the Vnet successfully.

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
