I'm trying to delete Azure Front Door. Deleting domains or rule sets takes some time and finish with success message but they do not get deleted. Deleting the front door as a whole also not working.

    Hi @Gobinath,

    I understand you're having trouble deleting your Azure Front Door resource, even after receiving success messages when attempting to delete domains or rule sets. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    1.Use Azure CLI for Deletion: You can try using Azure CLI to delete your Front Door. Here’s an example command you might use:

    az network front-door delete --name <YourFrontDoorName> --resource-group <YourResourceGroupName>
    

    Make sure to replace <YourFrontDoorName> and <YourResourceGroupName> with your actual Front Door name and resource group name. This command lets you explicitly target the Front Door for deletion.

    2.Resources or Dependencies Attached: Investigate if there are any dependencies still linked to your Front Door, such as custom domains, rules, or configurations that might be causing issues.

    3.Allow Some Time for Deletion: Sometimes, operations can take a bit longer to process. Give it some time and then try refreshing the portal.

    4.Check for Errors: If the failure persists, check any notifications or logs for error messages that might indicate why the deletion is failing.

    If these steps don’t solve your issue, please share the error messages or notifications in the portal when you try to delete the Front Door in Private message.
