You can delete a server via the az postgres flexible-server delete command.

If you run the previous command, it requires you to explicitly confirm, responding with a y (yes):

Are you sure you want to delete the server '<server>' in resource group '<resource_group>' (y/n):

If you want to run the command without needing the user interaction, you can add the --yes parameter like this:

az postgres flexible-server delete --resource-group <resource_group> --name <server> --yes
