Hi Maxime FRANCOIS,

Greetings!!

If your Azure Database for MariaDB is stuck in the "Stopping" state and cannot be deleted via CLI or Terraform, here are a few checks you can perform:

Check Azure Resource Health:

Go to the Azure Portal → Navigate to your MariaDB instance → Check the Resource Health tab.

Check for Locks:

In the Azure Portal, go to the Locks section of the resource group or the MariaDB instance. Remove any Delete locks that might be preventing deletion.

I kindly request you to please share the details requested in the private message, which will help us to address your query.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

Hi Maxime FRANCOIS,

Initially your Azure Database for MariaDB is stuck in the "Stopping" state and cannot be deleted via CLI or Terraform.

As mentioned, we attempted to cancel the stopping operation from the backend and successfully deleted the server.

I hope this has been helpful!
