Answer 2

@Frank Please try the following to see if you are able to locate and delete the recovery point:

1. Temporarily stop the backup and keep backup data.
2. To move virtual machines configured with Azure Backup, do the following steps: Find the resource group that contains your backups. If you used the default resource group, it has the following naming pattern: AzureBackupRG_<VM location>_1. For example, the name is in the format of AzureBackupRG_westus2_1. If you created a custom resource group, select that resource group. If you can't find the resource group, search for Restore Point Collections in the portal. Look for the collection with the naming pattern AzureBackup_<VM name>_###########. Select the resource with type Restore Point Collection that has the naming pattern AzureBackup_<VM name>_###########. Delete this resource. This operation deletes only the instant recovery points, not the backed-up data in the After the delete operation is complete, you can move your virtual machine.
3. Move the VM to the target resource group.
4. Reconfigure the backup.
