Virtual network cannot be deleted because of a connected Power BI SAL. But the Power BI report Itself does not exist

Question

The virtual network cannot be deleted because of a connected Power Platform SAL resource. The connected resource itself does not exist anymore so we are not sure how we could remove this SAL in order to remove the virtual network.

Error Message: "Failed to delete virtual network. Error: Subnet <Network name> is in use by <PowerPlatformSAL> and cannot be deleted. In order to delete the subnet, delete all the resources within the subnet. "

Answer 1

To resolve the issue of being unable to delete the virtual network due to a connected Power Platform SAL (Service Application Layer), you will need to ensure that all resources associated with that SAL are properly removed. Since you mentioned that the connected resource does not exist anymore, it is possible that there are remnants or references still present in your Azure environment.

Here are some steps you can take:

1. Check for Remaining Connections: Verify if there are any other resources that might still be linked to the virtual network or the subnet. This includes checking for any gateways, connections, or peerings that might be preventing deletion.
2. Use Azure CLI or PowerShell: You can utilize Azure CLI or PowerShell commands to list and delete any lingering resources that may not be visible in the Azure portal. For example, you can use commands to check for existing connections or resources within the subnet.
3. Wait for Cleanup: If the Power Platform SAL was recently deleted, it might take some time for Azure to fully recognize that the resource is gone. In some cases, it can take up to 48 to 72 hours for the system to update and allow deletion.
4. Contact Support: If you still cannot delete the virtual network after verifying and cleaning up resources, consider reaching out to Azure support for assistance in resolving the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and remove the blocking resource, allowing you to delete the virtual network successfully.
