Hello Ramanathan AR,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would want to delete a resource Group, that holds Azure AI Studio and no other resource.

• Regarding your explanations, you will have to delete everything inside the resource group before deleting it, almost is not enough. Below is the step-by-step to meet your need:
• Make sure that all resources within the resource group are deleted. Sometimes, resources might still be in a “Deleting” state, which can block the deletion of the resource group.
• Since the error mentions AI projects, you need to manually delete any associated AI projects. You can do this through the Azure portal or using Azure CLI/PowerShell. Sometimes, using the Azure CLI or PowerShell can help force the deletion of stubborn resources. For example, these are the command you can try: az ml workspace delete --name <workspace-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --yes --no-wait replace <workspace-name> and <resource-group-name> with your actual workspace and resource group names. To list all resources in the resource group: az resource list --resource-group <resource-group-name> To delete a specific resource: az resource delete --ids <resource-id>To remove resource locks: az lock delete --name <lock-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>
• Make sure there are no dependencies or locks on the resources. You can check for resource locks in the Azure portal under the “Locks” section of the resource group.
• Permission can affect, you but from your explanation it looks like you still have some object running in the resource group.
• If you’ve tried all the above steps and still can’t delete the resource group, it might be best to contact Azure Support via your Azure Portal for assistance.

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
