Deleting Resources After a Failed Deployment in Azure Portal
July 23, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
If your deployment fails and you need to clean up the resources manually, follow these steps in the Azure Portal.
If you deployed with azd, run azd down from the repository root to remove every resource this accelerator created. The manual portal steps below are for cleaning up a failed or partial deployment where azd down cannot complete.
1. Navigate to the Azure Portal
- Open Azure Portal.
- Sign in with your Azure account.
2. Find the Resource Group
- In the search bar at the top, type "Resource groups" and select it.
- Locate the resource group associated with the failed deployment.


3. Delete the Resource Group
- Click on the resource group name to open it.
- Click the Delete resource group button at the top.

- Type the resource group name in the confirmation box and click Delete.
๐ Note: Deleting a resource group will remove all resources inside it.
4. Delete Individual Resources (If Needed)
If you donโt want to delete the entire resource group, follow these steps:
- Open Azure Portal and go to the Resource groups section.
- Click on the specific resource group.
- Select the resource you want to delete (for example, a Container App, Storage account, or Azure AI Search service).
- Click Delete at the top.

5. Verify Deletion
- After a few minutes, refresh the Resource groups page.
- Ensure the deleted resource or group no longer appears.
๐ Tip: If a resource fails to delete, check if it's locked under the Locks section and remove the lock.
