I have a Azure Kubernetes Service. The associated resources like Virtual Machine Sale Set, Public IP Address and Load Balance has been deleted by accident. Now I want to remove this AKS, but due to lack of associate resource, I get error like 

Failed to delete resource group MC_can-metrix-rg_qc-qbm-sel01_canadacentral: Deletion of resource group 'MC_can-metrix-rg_qc-qbm-sel01_canadacentral' failed as resources with identifiers 'Microsoft.Network/networkProfiles/vk-429a07e2b9d6da1629d2d584d1733eb9f423d9641fe0b4a42014d757e74ba760' could not be deleted.

Could you please help me to remove this AKS service in such condition? Thanks

    Hello Chen, Jerry

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

    Based on the details shared, looks like the network profile associated with your AKS cluster is still in use by some container network interfaces (CNIs). This is preventing the deletion of the resource group that contains the AKS cluster.

    To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    -Identify the CNIs that are using the network profile.
    -Delete the CNIs that are using the network profile.

    -Once all the CNIs that are using the network profile have been deleted, you should be able to delete the AKS cluster and the associated resource group.

    If the deletion of the resource group still fails, you may need to manually delete the network profile and any other associated resources. You can use the Azure portal or Azure CLI to delete these resources.
    Hope this helps.
