Cannot delete a virtual network with a Service Association Link

Ryan Supelana 5

Hello, I was cleaning up and deleting my resources when I encountered an error which had prevented me from deleting my virtual network.

I have a subnet that was associated with a PostgreSQL flexible server that does not exist anymore and when I try to delete the subnet, it gives me an error stating that it is in use by a service association link so I'm unable to delete it.

I would like to be able to delete the subnet and the virtual network. Any help with this would be appreciated!

HI ,

Please Check :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/manage-subnet-delegation?tabs=manage-subnet-delegation-portal#delegate-a-subnet-to-an-azure-service?wt.mc_id=MVP_328341

1-check the remaining associated services :

az network vnet subnet show --resource-group <resource-group-name> --vnet-name <virtual-network-name> --name <subnet-name>

2- remove service associations :

az network vnet subnet update --resource-group <resource-group-name> --vnet-name <virtual-network-name> --name <subnet-name> --remove serviceEndpoints=<service-endpoint>

3- try deleting the subnet :

az network vnet subnet delete --resource-group <resource-group-name> --vnet-name <virtual-network-name> --name <subnet-name>

4- Delete Vnet

az network vnet delete --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <virtual-network-name>

Please try sharing some screen photos with us if this doesn't work.

Hope this helps.

Hello, I have tried to use those commands, but it seems like the service endpoints list is empty, but there is an element in the service association links. It also does not seem like I can use the command to remove them.

Hello Kapil,

How can I get a 1:1 session? The portal does not seem to allow me to create a support ticket even with a one-time free technical support enabled. Your help is very appreciated!

@Ryan Supelana ,

It appears your subscription is managed by a CSP (Cloud Service Provider).

In this case, you have to reach out to your CSP to open a Support Incident to open a support request in this subscription.

Cheers,

Kapil

I don't have a support plan I've walked through all the steps provided and the commands act like they work but nothing happens.
