I have created a VM with site recovery enabled on azure. I delete the disk via the API on the original VM. The replication stops working after this because the disk has been removed on the original VM. However, I tried using the API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/site-recovery/replication-protected-items/remove-disks?tabs=HTTP to remove the replicated disk. Upon making the API request received a 202 response status code along with a url to poll for status in response header. However, upon polling the url, got to know that the remove disk operation had failed. Please let me know ways to delete the replicated disk via API
Do you know the exact error that you see when it reported remove disk operation had failed? if yes, share it please.
Another question, do you need to keep the replication active for the azure VM in question.
Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused. I haven't heard back from you about the errors. I checked with the internal support team and thi issue needs deeper investigation by looking at the subscription side logs. If you still have this issue, I recommend you open an azure support case, azure technical support team will be able to check and help with this. If you don't have the ability to open a technical support ticket, please let me know, I can help you further on this.

It is a managed disk, but it is locked by azure site recovery. hence i am unable to delete the disk with the help of above API.
thanks for your answer
first, check the disk type maybe it is managed or unmanaged
if it is managed, you can use the following to delete managed disk
