Hey,

I got a huge problem. I created a managed HSM by accident, then deleted it. Now I fully realized, that HSM are always soft deleted and that I created a HSM that is 90 days purge protected.

My Company does not use this service at all, and Microsoft keeps charging by the hour...

Is there absolutely no way to cancel this HSM and avoid further billing? Otherwise I am done and can start looking for a new job :(((

    Open a ticket against the HSM resource in the Azure Portal and explain the situation to support. They may be able to expedite its purging/deallocation.
