An easy question, I hope, but regardless I'd appreciate the clarity

Question

I am new and failed to launch what I planned and I have had what appears to be a persistent bot which has dropped a few viruses among decade old packages that usurped the jobs of others. Maybe I'll ramble more but what the AI and the Help Button couldn't answer:

How do I just fully wipe the portal.azure environment so I can just not worry and when I find someone to buid me a functional foundation it's a fresh new environment. Parts of the build have gone down but have a reinitialize window that I DO NOT NEED. I learned some stuff but made nothing worth carrying over

Hello daniel g,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

If you really want to wipe out your azure environment completely, you'll need to delete all resource groups along with their associated resources. Once everything is deleted, you should cancel your subscription to ensure nothing remains in your Azure account.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through this process:

• Delete all the Resources groups and its associated resources.
  example: VM, Key vault, storage account etc. Usefull link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/delete-resource-group?tabs=azure-powershell

Ensure there are no locks on the resources and the resource groups. If any locks are present, remove them to proceed with deletion. as shown below check the locks.

Cancel Your Subscription:

• Go to "Subscriptions" in the Azure portal.
• Select the subscription.
• Click on "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts. Note that you may need to settle any outstanding billing issues before fully canceling a subscription. Know What happens after subscription cancellation?
• Then you can delete the subscription

By following the above all steps you will be able to wipe out your azure environment.

Hope this helps!
