I stood up a wordpress website using azure webapps. I need to delete the resources, but cannot. I get the error below;
xxxx-79xxx-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com: Cannot delete resource while nested resources exist. Some existing nested resource IDs include: 'Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones/xxx-79xxx-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com/virtualNetworkLinks/xxxx-79xxex-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com-vnetlink'. Please delete all nested resources before deleting this resource. (Code: CannotDeleteResource)
another:
xxxx-79xxx-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com: Cannot delete resource while nested resources exist. Some existing nested resource IDs include: 'Microsoft.Network/privateDnsZones/xxxx-723-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com/virtualNetworkLinks/afribuild-3434-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com-vnetlink'. Please delete all nested resources before deleting this resource. (Code: CannotDeleteResource)
When I look for the dependancies, i can't find them. All the forums I looked at state that it is a bug.

From the error message, it looks like it is generated while deleting a Private DNS Zone, that is created for a MySQL Database, "xxxx-79xxx-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com".
I am not sure how "wordpress website using azure webapps" comes into picture here.
However, you must consider deleting resources individually rather than resource group wise to avoid such dependency deletion issues.
In your case,
- Navigate to the Private DNS Zone "xxx-79xxx-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com"
- Go to the "Virtual network Links" tab and delete all the Virtual network Links.
- Then go ahead and delete the Private DNS Zone
- Similarly do the same for the Private DNS Zone "xxxx-723-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com"
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Kapil

2023-09-13T06:36:23.6233333+00:00 As the error message states, you do not have the appropriate permissions to view the Private DNS Zone resource.
In this case,
1.You must contact your admin to provide you access to the Private DNS Zone
OR
2.Request your admin or an user with Owner Permission on the Private DNS Zone to delete it for you.
Cheers,
Kapil

2023-09-13T06:38:26.3266667+00:00 To check the role assignments of a user, your Admin can leverage this menu : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-list-portal#list-role-assignments-for-a-user-or-group
The above document also gives a thorough description of how role assignment works in Azure

2023-09-13T06:51:08.1166667+00:00 Appreciate your response Kapil. The subscription is a visual studio subscription, and the resources are created by me. I can delete any other resources, except these? Can you not get MS to delete the resources for me? Most of the solutions around this topic involved MS deleting the resources or some kind of recreating the resources.. Please help these resources are eating through my budget.

2023-09-13T06:58:55.99+00:00 That is a different issue involving Azure App Service Association Links for VNETs where an App Service is integrated.
In your case, you are facing issue with a Private DNS Zone, "xxxx-723-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com".
I would appreciate if you could share a screenshot of the Private DNS Zones you see when you navigate to the Private DNS Zone and confirm if you can see,
- "xxx-79xxx-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com" and
- "xxxx-723-privatelink.mysql.database.azure.com"

2023-09-14T03:04:46.9766667+00:00 @KapilAnanth-MSFT That is the problem, I cannot find or see these DNS zones, hence cannot delete. The links provided are from the errors I get. Really appreciate you taking the time to respond. How else can I get the correct info to you?

2023-09-14T03:47:32.45+00:00 I see.
In that case, the Private DNS Zone(s) may be a managed one created by your MySql Database.
You can try to see the resource from accessing https://resources.azure.com/<resourceIDoftheDNSZonefromtheErrorMessage>
If this did not help, please send an email to AzCommunity[At]Microsoft[Dot]Com with the below details.
- Subject : Attn Kaananth
- Thread URL: Link to this thread.
- Subscription ID : Subscription ID of this VNet
