Hi,

We are unable to delete a Backup Vault. The Backup Vault still has a Backup Instance configured, but when we try to access it, it throws an error:

{ "shellProps": { "sessionId": "<REDACTED>", "extName": "Microsoft_Azure_DataProtection", "contentName": "GenericBackupInstanceDashboardBlade" }, "error": { "message": "The extension encountered an unexpected error and provided no additional details.", "code": null }}

Best regards

    Sharing the solution for the benefit of the community.

    Problem:

    The issue occurred due to creation of multiple backup instances for different disks with the same name through automation. Ideally each name should be unique.

    Solution:

    To fix the issue, rename all the backup instances so that they will be visible in Azure portal and PowerShell with distinct names. Post that we can call delete operation on them and then delete the vault.
