Question

Hi

I want to permanently delete the Azure AI services that already have microsoft.cognitiveservices/accounts from the subscription Resources.

I want to delete because of the region I chose is not support and I want to delete the resource group since it's burning my credit right now. When ever I tried to delete the resource group, the error below appeared

Failed to delete resource group [resource group name]: Deletion of resource group '[resource group name]' failed as resources with identifiers 'Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/[Azure AI Service name],Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/[Azure AI Service name]' could not be deleted.

Answer 1

@Cream Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

I understand that you are unable to delete the Azure AI service account, and you are facing the issues.

If you are facing the above error using the portal I would suggest you try deleting the AI Service Account using either the below PowerShell or AzCLI Cmdlets.

PowerShell:

Remove-AzCognitiveServicesAccount -ResourceGroupName <AIServiceAccountResourceGroupName> -name <AIServiceAccountName>

Azure CLI Cmdlet:

az cognitiveservices account delete --name <AIServiceAccountName> --resource-group <AIServiceAccountResourceGroupName>

Refer to the cmdlet's documentation, Remove-AzCognitiveServicesAccount & az cognitiveservices account delete.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions on this.
