Billing in Azure when everything is paused/deleted

Hi:

I am newbie with Azure: I am doing the AI Fundamentals AI-900 certification. The thing is that I don't understand why Azure is charging me constantly when I have the compute stopped and all the endpoints deleted (as indicated in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/create-regression-model-azure-machine-learning-designer/9-summary). In this page says that, additionally, 'You will however be charged a small amount for data storage as long as the Azure Machine Learning workspace exists in your subscription', but, how much is this 'small amount'?

Image of my billing page this morning (without doing anything additional):

Imagen of the 'predict-rentals' instance (is stopped and however is charging):

Image of the 'predic-auto-price' instance (and the self diagnostics tool), which appears as deleted and however is charging too:

I would like to know the nature of these charges and, in case it's only for storage, if there is any way to download my work and only pay when I use (because 1€/day for storage of only two exercises, I consider it completely out of order)

    And here comes the 'magic' again: yesterday, after posting my initial question and although they were paused/stopped, I deleted my two resources groups, that is, 'machine_learning' and 'ml2_recurso'. Well, this morning, without having done anything additional within my account, you have charged me again for these resources groups:

    Can anyone explain me why Azure is charging me for something that is DELETED?

    Thanks in advance.
