Disk issue in Azure

Question

I have a weird bug. I manually deleted my resource group so the disk within that resource group got deleted. But when I tried to deploy again with Terraform, it complained the disk was already present.

I checked the portal and could not see the disk. But when started up the cli, and asked a list for every disk in that resource group, the disk is there and is unattached.

So, I tried to delete it in the cli, it succeeds but it is still there. It is unremovable...

What can I do?

@Erwin If you are still able to list disk try to delete using the script mentioned in the below article and It may take some time or necessary changes to take place.

Refer to this article and try to delete using the Powershell script

Hello,

I tried a lot of things, including part of that script. After some time, all of a sudden, portal showed the disk! Out of the blue, and I could delete it... I hadn't answered on this thread yet to see what the reply would be but it is fixed. Not certain if it is because of something I did but I can continue now.

Note: Disk had not been showing for hours so it is not a "I didn't have any patience" situation.

Thank you for the help!
