Trying to delete an empty static web app either fails or is still running after 2 hours

I've been trying unsuccessfully to delete a static web app that is empty (no published code) for the last 2 hours and have tried the following methods:

  1. az staticwebapp delete
  2. Remove-AzStaticWebApp
  3. Removing the static web app from the Azure portal
  4. Removing the resource group entirely using az group delete --name
  5. Removing the resource group from the Azure portal.

Each instance either times out and fails, or is still continuing to run, for what appears to be an indefinite amount of time.

Anyone have a way to just remove the resources?

    Looks like it's finally deleted after multiple attempts. It really shouldnt be this hard to delete a resource though!

    Hi @Mark Harrison

    Usually removing the static web app via the Azure portal should work just fine. We are sorry to hear you had a difficult time deleting your static webapp. Thanks for letting us know the issue is now resolved.

    Best,
