I need to delete a data partition from my Azure Data Manager for Energy instance. I understand that deleting the data partition will permanently remove all data stored in it and this action cannot be undone. I have verified that one, is the correct partition to delete. Reason for Deletion: This is a test partition that is no longer needed" or "Consolidating partitions". Please assist with deleting this data partition.

Here’s how to delete it safely:
- Verify permissions
- You need to be a Contributor or Owner on the ADME instance, and have access to its storage account.
- Locate the partition
- In the Azure portal, open your Data Manager for Energy instance.
- Go to Data Partitions in the left menu.
- Select the target partition
- Find the partition (e.g.
test-partition) you want to delete. - Confirm this is the correct one — double-check its linked datasets and data sources.
- Find the partition (e.g.
- Delete the partition
- Click Delete.
- Type the partition name to confirm, then hit Delete again.
- Wait for completion
- The process can take a few minutes. You can monitor progress in Activity log.
If you prefer CLI:
az datamanager energy data-partition delete \ --name <partition-name> \ --resource-group <resource-group> \ --instance-name <instance-name>Make sure no active data flows or pipelines point to that partition before deletion.
Would you like me to show the exact CLI command with your instance and partition names (you can share placeholders only)?

Here’s how you can proceed with the deletion:
Access the Data Partitions in Azure: Go to your Azure Data Manager for Energy instance. From the left panel, select the "Data Partitions" menu item.
Locate the Partition: In the table displaying your data partitions, find the one you wish to delete.
Delete the Partition:
If there’s a delete option available (this may vary depending on the UI version), select it. Confirm that you want to delete the partition. Remember, this action is irreversible, so make sure you really don’t need any data from this partition.
Thanks.
