Hello Capstone

The error message you received indicates that the storage account 'tejas761' is protected from deletion.
Possibility is if there are resources associated with the storage account that are still in use or if there are locks applied to the storage account.
Try below:
-Check if there are any resources associated with the storage account that are still in use.
-Check if there are any locks applied to the storage account. Resource locks can prevent deletion. Navigate to the resource group containing the storage account in the Azure portal, and check if any locks are applied. Remove any locks that are set.

-If you're subject to Azure Policy restrictions, ensure that there are no policies preventing the deletion of the storage account. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete the storage account. Check your role assignments and permissions at the subscription, resource group, and storage account levels.

Lastly, you can try to force delete the storage account using Azure CLI.
az storage account delete --name <storage-account-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --yes --force-delete

Hope this helps.

If there are no resources associated with the storage account and there are no locks applied to it, then you should be able to delete the storage account without any issues.

Can you please confirm if you have tried the force delete option using CLI that I have shared in my previous response.

Hello Capstone

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

It looks like the resource group deletion is blocked because there are resources within the resource group that are protected from deletion.

Based on the error you have shared, looks like the storage account named tejas761 is preventing the deletion of the resource group.

First you need to delete the storage account (tejas761) within the resource group.

Once the storage account is deleted, you should be able to delete the resource group without any issues.

Hope this helps.
