How to check which resources are using the Premium managed ssd disks?

Question

Hi,

I found that there are a couple of premium SSD managed disks in my resource group. Firstly, I do not remember creating them, but assuming some other task required the disk storage to be created, I would like to know which resources are dependent on the managed disks. These premium SSD storages are very expensive and I would like to know if they are actually being used.

I can see that they are not attached to any VM. I dont see any activity in the monitor option as well. How do I know if they are safe to be deleted?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Ahammed Sakir ,

if you take a look in the Azure details you see the Managed By information.

If the field is empty = disk isn't attached to a VM.

Otherwise you will see the name of the VM.

The third option is to take a look on the list view of Azure Disks. The column Owner shows the related VM name.
