"What's the best way to prevent accidental deletion of an important resource in Azure?"

Question

I'm working with Azure and need to prevent the accidental deletion of critical resources like virtual machines, databases, and storage accounts. I need a method that ensures these resources are protected from unintentional deletions by users or automated processes, without compromising operational flexibility. Ideally, the solution should be easy to implement and enforce across multiple resources within a subscription or resource group.
