Unable to delete MariaDB instance

Question

I can't delete a MariaDB instance. It fails with error

No registered resource provider found for location 'francesouth' and API version '2018-06-01-preview' for type 'servers'. The supported api-versions are '2018-06-01-preview, 2018-06-01'. The supported locations are 'australiacentral, australiacentral2, australiaeast, australiasoutheast, brazilsouth, canadacentral, canadaeast, centralindia, centralus, eastasia, eastus2, eastus, francecentral, germanywestcentral, japaneast, japanwest, jioindiawest, koreacentral, koreasouth, northcentralus, northeurope, southafricanorth, southafricawest, southcentralus, southindia, southeastasia, norwayeast, swedencentral, switzerlandnorth, uaenorth, uksouth, ukwest, westcentralus, westeurope, westindia, westus, westus2, westus3'.

Other operations on that resource also fail, like stopping replication from main instance or move resource to different region.

Hi Salvador,

Thank you for sharing your query on Microsoft Q&A!

It looks like you're encountering a location-based issue when trying to delete or manage a MariaDB server in Azure. The error message suggests that MariaDB is not supported in the region, and therefore the resource provider cannot process your request using that location and API version.

Please make sure the resource provider is registered in your subscription. Navigate to your subscription and under Resource Providers check for Microsoft.DBforMariaDB Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.DBforMariaDB

Use a supported region for creating new MariaDB instances or migrating existing ones. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/azure/mariadb/quickstart-create-mariadb-server-database-using-azure-powershell

If the resource appears to be stuck and cannot be managed or deleted normally, consider using Azure Resource Explorer or Azure CLI/PowerShell to manually delete it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/azure/mariadb/quickstart-create-mariadb-server-database-arm-template?tabs=CLI#clean-up-resources
