Unable to delete virtual network

Question

Hi, in the past days I created a Virtual Network with 2 subnets, one of the two containing an Azure Container Instance.
I then deleted the ACI, and I now need to delete the VNet as well.
When I try to delete it, I get this error:

Subnet BackendServersSunet is in use by /subscriptions/{...}/resourceGroups/{...}ResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkProfiles/{...}/containerNetworkInterfaceConfigurations/eth0/ipConfigurations/ipconfigprofile1 and cannot be deleted. In order to delete the subnet, delete all the resources within the subnet. See aka.ms/deletesubnet.

even if that ipconfigureprofile does not exist anymore. How can I delete it?

Answer 1

@Luca Perico , Please try these CLI commands to delete the network profile,

NETWORK_PROFILE_ID=$(az network profile list --resource-group yourResourceGroup --query [0].id --output tsv)  
az network profile delete --id $NETWORK_PROFILE_ID -y  

After deleting this profile, you can then delete your VNET. Let us know if the above solution doesn't work in your case for further analysis.

Answer 2

I've found it:

1. In the Azure portal, go to the resource group's Overview page
2. In the header for the list of the resource group's resources, select Show hidden types. The network profile type is hidden in the Azure portal by default

Is the network profile also available in the Azure portal ?
