When attempting to delete the AKS using the Azure portal UI, the error message "This Cluster is in failed state" appears, and a notification is received when trying to stop AKS.
"failed to terminate the 'akspoc' Kubernetes service. Error: Since deletion was issued on "akspoc," "Stopping" operation on "akspoc" could not be completed. Once deletion has begun, the only operation that is permitted is deletion". I had to wait two days to know how the deletion was going, but there was no progress.
How then can I delete an Azure Kubernetes service the most efficient manner possible?

Hello
Please try to reconcile the cluster, then delete it.
Try this via Azure CLI -
az extension add -n aks-preview
az aks update -n clustername -g clusterresourcegroup
az aks delete -n clustername -g resourcegroup --debug
if you still cant delete please paste your debug log.
unable to update the aks.
Can you run the command with --debug and share the end of it?
output by providing --debug
This seems like an issue in the backend.
Please open an Azure Support Request.
It was discovered that a some of my existing nsgs belonged to the default aks resource group, blocking deletion. My problem was fixed by removing those from the RG and running the delete command from the Azure cli. thank you all.
I have get the detailed error by providing the --debug command in delete command using Azure CLI.
