Resource Group is being updated and cannot perform this operation.

Question

Hi, I tried to move a resource from one RG to a target RG. the notification indicated success but in reality, the resource is still in origin RG but don't exists in the target one.
now, both RGs are in a kind of locked state and I can't do anything.
I checked the lock section in both RG and nothing is there.
Any help would be appreciated to unlock me
Thanks

Hi @vrithner ,

If the resource is still in the original RG and does not appear in the target RG, it is possible that the move operation did not complete successfully. You can check the status of the move operation in the Azure portal. If it is still pending, it may eventually succeed, or you may need to wait for the four-hour lock period to expire.

Also check the below screenshot which says
