Issue with Deleting a VNet Due to Undeletable Subnet: PowerBI-Gateway

Question

I encountered an issue when trying to delete the VNet. I've already checked and deleted all other resources linked to the VNet, but there's one subnet (PowerBI-Gateway) that I can't delete. Because of this, I'm unable to delete the VNet as well.

Failed to delete virtual network ''. Error: Subnet powerBi-gateway is in use by /subscriptions/e4dbdb39-509a-4e77-a90c-85950281a176/resourceGroups/acepshrdtstshr4/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/acepshrdtstshr4vntcac1/subnets/powerbi-gateway/serviceAssociationLinks/PowerPlatformSAL and cannot be deleted. In order to delete the subnet, delete all the resources within the subnet. See aka.ms/deletesubnet.

The error occurs when trying to delete the subnet.

Failed to delete subnet 'powerBi-gateway'. Error: Subnet powerBi-gateway is in use by acepshrdtstshr4vntcac1/powerbi-gateway/PowerPlatformSAL and cannot be deleted. In order to delete the subnet, delete all the resources within the subnet. See aka.ms/deletesubnet.

Please help to solve this issue.

Hello Achala Dias,

Thanks for your question.

The typical approach to resolve this is by recreating the resource. If possible, recreate the resource that was previously in the subnet and reattach it. This will restore the resource to its original state. From there, you can disconnect the resource and then proceed to delete the subnet.
