Cannot Create or Delete Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible servers

Richard Roeder 5

I attempted to create a PostgreSQL flexible server and the deployment failed with no additional or actionable details.

How can I permanently delete these "dropping" servers and create a new server?

Hi Richard Roeder,

Glad to know, that servers which were in dropping state for days are gone. I believe the objective of this thread has been achieved and is good for closure. In case you have any questions in this matter, we will gladly continue the discussion.

Thank you.
