    Hi Ramiro Larenas,

    I think the VMSS are associated with labs that are hosted in your subscription. If you try to delete the labs associated with this vnet, the VMSS instances will also be removed.

    Steps to Delete a Lab

    1. Open the Azure Portal:

    Navigate to the Azure portal.

    Access the Resource Group:

    1. In the left-hand menu, select Resource groups.

    Choose the resource group that contains the lab you want to delete.

    1. Filter Lab Resources:

    In the resource group, use the filter to set Type == Lab to display only lab resources.

    1. Delete the Lab:

    Locate the lab you wish to delete.

    Click on the ellipsis (...) next to the lab name.

    Select Delete from the dropdown menu.

    1. Confirm Deletion:

    In the warning message that appears, type Yes to confirm.

    Click Delete to proceed.

    Please note that deleting a lab is irreversible. Ensure that you have backed up any necessary data before proceeding.
