frontdoor deletion issue

Question

frontdoor deletion issue

mohd bilal razi 0

Service: Azure Front Door (Standard/Premium)

Tier: Standard (or Premium – whichever applies)

Problem: I attempted to delete my Front Door Standard profile front-1 ,front-door2, but it's stuck in the Deleting state. I have attempted to delete via Azure CLI, Portal, and API Resource Explorer all fail with a Conflict error, indicating an operation is still in progress. Child resources like endpoints and domains are either already deleted or unreachable (some return ParentResourceNotFound).

Request: Please perform a backend cleanup and remove the stuck Front Door profile and its zombie dependencies. I no longer need this profile and would like it fully removed from my subscription

Hi mohd bilal razi,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A and thank you posting your question here!

As per the latest update on the outage incident, all service management operations - including create, update, delete, and purge actions for Azure Front Door (AFD) and Azure CDN profiles are temporarily blocked to prevent further impact.

“Customer configuration changes to AFD remain temporarily blocked. We will notify customers once this block has been lifted. While error rates and latency are back to pre-incident levels, a small number of customers may still be experiencing issues, and we are actively working to mitigate this long tail. Updates will be provided directly via Azure Service Health.”

You can refer to the official status page here: https://azure.status.microsoft/status/history/

Customers will receive updates via email or Azure Service Health notifications. In parallel, we’re monitoring the situation internally and will share any progress as soon as it’s available.

Thank you for your understanding.

Harish.

Hi mohd bilal razi,

Good day, i hope you are doing well!

Quick update — Azure has lifted the temporary block on configuration operations. All create, update, delete, WAF, and cache purge actions for Azure Front Door and Azure CDN profiles are now enabled again.

If the profile still appears locked or pending migration, please retry the operation. It may take up to 45 minutes for configuration and propagation to complete for added safety, as noted in the Azure Front Door FAQ.

Once propagation finishes, you should be able to proceed with migration finalization or further updates. If the issue persists beyond that window, please do let us know.

i hope you should be able to perform all the actions.

Thanks,

Harish.
