Remove-AzRecoveryServicesVault -Name "MyRSVault"

If you meet all the pre-requisites, then the next steps involve using Remove-AzRecoveryServicesVault command after Disable-AzRecoveryServicesBackupProtection command.

Get the VMVault and set the default context.

Get RSV backup item and store it varible called A.

Loop through container A and for each Item undo backupitem deletion

Also get the backup item specific to VM and loop through each Item and disabling works.

I managed to resolve. We can close this thread.
