Dear Naren,

thank you for yours question here at Q&A portal. So, to remove a Recovery Services vault that's preventing deletion of your resource group. Ensure you have Owner or Contributor permissions. Verify no backup items are protected in the vault. Removal Process looks like as delete Protected Items First. Navigate to your vault > Backup Items

For each item (VMs, files, etc.): Select item > Stop Backup. Choose Delete Backup Data when prompted. Disable Soft Delete (If Enabled). Vault > Properties > Security Settings

Turn off Soft delete and save. Delete the Vault.

# PowerShell method

OR u can do next Azure Portal > Locate vault > Delete

Force Resource Group Deletion (If needed)

az group delete

bellow links to an official MSFT doc's accourding urs issue.

Best regards,

Alex
