cannot delete azure static web apps

Question

Deletion of azure static web apps stops the actual static web app service from working, however the web apps remain within the azure portal and i cannot add new ones serving the same domain names. Thus rendering me web-less.

Tried with the cloud console as well, same result.
Remove-AzureRmWebApp -ResourceGroupName "resource-group" -Name "web-app-name"

@Jovan Janevski Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. Apologize for the inconvenience caused on this.

Based on the issue description, I understand that you are trying to delete the static web app using the Remove-AzureRmWebApp cmdlet. Post running the cmdlet also you are seeing the static web app still on the portal

• The cmdlet Remove-AzWebApp will deletes the web App. We have a separate PowerShell cmdlet under (Az.Website module) to delete static web app. Currently AzureRM modules are going to be retried and I would recommend you to switch to Az module and use Remove-AzStaticWebapp .
• Alternatively, you can use either Azure CLI cmdlet az staticwebapp delete --resource-group <resourcegroupname> --name <staticwebappName> --yes or this Rest API Static Sites-Delete Static Site to delete the static web app.

Try using any of the cmdlets that i have recommended above and see if the deletion succeeds.

Hope this helps. Please tag me in a comment if you need any further assistance on this.
