Azure ML Experimentation

Hi - I have created a Machine Learning Expirementation account on Azure, which I now wish to cancel.  When I do so, it tells me that I cannot delete the resource until all nested resources are deleted.  I have already deleted the storage account, all that is left is the workspace, which does not have an option to delete.  Any Suggestions?

    The problem seems to be that the tutorial workspace is not visible as a resource in the portal, which prohibits the deletion process. I had the same issue and resolved through the following:

    1. Download and login into Azure Machine Learning Workbench

    2. Create new workspace with any name, which provides the ability to permanently delete the tutorial workspace (otherwise it is always re-instantiated)

    3. In the Azure portal, create a new resource group and move remaining resources to new RG
    4. Delete old RG

    5. Delete new RG

     

    (Please note, steps 3 and 5 might not be necessary at all)

    I'm having the exact same issue. Resolution: recreate a storage account with the same name as the one you previously deleted. Now the notification on the missing storage account should disappear and you can proceed as normally.

      Hi,

       

      I have the same issue. The suggested solution to recreate the storage account didn't help. I still get the 'Can not delete resource before nested resources are deleted. (Code: CannotDeleteResource)'.
      I think the nested resources in question are the workspaces. But how do I delete the workspaces? I can't find a button on the dashboard.

       

      many thanks for any hint how to solve this.

       

      regards, Jboi
