I'm trying to delete my SQL managed instance & virtual cluster attached to it. I've initiated the deletion process last Friday and it's Monday now but still it is showing deletion in progress. Could you please help? I'm getting charged unnecessarily for something I'm not using.
Hi @Varun Dhingra Welcome to Microsoft Q&A thanks for posting your question.
Have you raised any support case for this issue? if not, I would recommend raising one for troubleshooting?

I do not have a support plan to raise request for raising this issue. I'm assuming this is an issue from Microsoft's end and I'm not sure why this is not getting resolved. Is there a way that I can stop getting billed for this service?
My subscription is already disable because of this service charges issue.

Thank you Geetha, I've shared requested details with you on mentioned email ID.
Hi @Varun Dhingra Following our internal discussion, your issue has been successfully resolved. The problem stemmed from the temporary disabling of your subsection. After the completion of your billing cycle, your subscription was reactivated, and the virtual cluster was subsequently deleted successfully.

Geetha

Have you verified if there are any locks on the Managed Instance resources? Occasionally, these locks can hinder the deletion of a Managed Instance.

Thank you!
Hi @Rahul Randive - I've already checked, there were no locks on any of the resources. :)
