Remove-AzStorageAccount : AccountPendingMigrationToSrp The specified account is pending migration to SRP.

Question

I'm trying to delete an empty storage account in Azure. I'm getting the following error.

Remove-AzStorageAccount : AccountPendingMigrationToSrp The specified account is pending migration to SRP.

There is nothing in this storage account. I've tried deleting it though https://portal.azure.com, and I've tried deleting it through Powershell.

How can I delete it?

Answer 1

@Zach Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you are trying to remove your storage account but are unable to do so as it is throwing an error that the migration is pending. Please run in the below cmdlets in PowerShell:

  Cancel Migration :     Move-AzureStorageAccount -Abort -StorageAccountName "Saname"      
 Remove Storage Account:     Remove-AzureStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName "RG01" -AccountName "mystorageaccount" -Force  -debug -verbose  

Please let us know if that helps or if you have any further questions and we will be glad to assist you further. Thank you!

@SaiKishor-MSFT I found that same answer in this other post: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/412037/accountpendingmigrationtosrp.html.
I have tried your method, but it produces the following error.

Move-AzureStorageAccount : The term 'Move-AzureStorageAccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,  

It appears the command is not recognized.

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-Command -Verb Move -Module Az.Storage  
  
CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source  
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------  
Cmdlet          Move-AzDataLakeGen2Item                            4.2.0      Az.Storage  

What else do I need to try?

Answer 3

It appears I did not have all of the modules installed in Powershell. After re-installing the Az module, I was able to follow the commands and resolve the issue.

Answer 4

I'm having the exact same issue and have tried everything listed in this post to no avail. Not sure what I'm missing in PowerShell but I keep getting the "Move-AzureStorageAccount is not a recognized name" error...
