Azure Database for PostgreSQL in "dropping" state for more than 24 hours

Hello,
I have this PostgreSQL flexible server xxxxxxx on xxxxxxx resource group. I tried to delete via HCP Terraform but I couldn't because the server took more than 24 hours to start. So, I deleted it manually. However, after over 24 hours, it's still in "dropping" state. I issue this command:

az resource delete --ids xxxxxx --verbose

and I got this message:

PS /home/administador> az resource delete --ids xxxxxxx --verbose

(ResourceNotFound) The requested resource of type 'Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/xxxx' with name 'xxxxx' was not found.

Code: ResourceNotFound

Message: The requested resource of type 'Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/xxxxx' with name 'xxxxxxxx' was not found.

Some resources failed to be deleted (run with `--verbose` for more information):

/subscriptions/xxxxxx

Command ran in 1.695 seconds (init: 0.171, invoke: 1.524)

Can some of you fix this or do I need someone from the Microsoft support team to delete it from the backoffice?

Hi Luis Paraguay,

Following up on our discussion, the Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server is currently stuck in the dropping state in the Azure portal.

As mentioned earlier over private messaging, we have attempted to drop the server from the backend.

I hope this information is helpful!
