I trust someone can help me because I've been looking for a solution for hours.  

I have created a VM in Azure and enabled backup under a POC work. Later, once requirement was done, I deleted the VM, and the recovery service vault I created for my backups.  

Deletion of the VM and recovery service vault was successful. However, a restore point collection has been left behind with system generated RG and collection name, which I cannot delete. When I open the collection I see that there is 1 restore point present, but I cannot delete it either. Under the restore point I see one  Disk, that even doesn’t exist once click to se the details.

When I try to remove it from portal as well PowerShell, I get the following error:
