Unable to delete Virtual Network due to 'invisible' service links

Hello Community,

I am trying to delete a Virtual Network, having deleted all associated resources, but I am unable to do so. I receive the following error message:

Failed to delete virtual network ''. Error: Subnet {subnetname} is in use by /subscriptions/{subscriptionid}/resourceGroups/Wordpress/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/{vnetname}/subnets/{subnetname}/serviceAssociationLinks/{servicelinkid} and cannot be deleted. In order to delete the subnet, delete all the resources within the subnet. See aka.ms/deletesubnet.

<<<

I've seen many reports on the Community forums reporting the same issue and I believe that the only way to resolve is for Microsoft to remove the errored link from the backend and that I am unable to resolve that myself within the Azure portal.

If that is the case, I'm looking for a Microsoft rep. to respond and help me out with that.

Thanks very much.
