Question

Answer 1

Hi @Anonymous

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Platform .

Just wanted to check if you are facing the same issue while trying to delete the RG using CLI as well : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/group?view=azure-cli-latest#az_group_delete-examples

az group delete -n MyResourceGroup

The above command will go through a different API to the backend .

Also wanted to check if you have used any of the resources which are in use from other resource groups ?

Please accept my answer if it does help in resolving your issue as well

Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep

I tried the force delete option, but I do not think it is doing anything. The deletion is still not completed after 30 minutes, but I will give it more time.

Do I need to shutdown the resources first? Do I need to specify force deletion other resources too?
