I’ve reactivated my subscription but I still can’t delete the ‘xxxxxxxx’ Flexible Database Server. Could you please tell me the correct steps or delete it from your side?

Hi aptitude buster,

Greetings!!

It sounds like you're having trouble deleting your 'nizamdeenserver' Flexible Database Server even though your subscription is active. No worries, I can help you with that!

Here are the steps you can follow to delete the Flexible Database Server:

Steps to Delete the Flexible Database Server

1. Check Resource Locks: Ensure there are no resource locks on your server that might prevent deletion. You can check this by going to the Azure portal -> Select your server -> Access Control (IAM) -> Locks.
2. Use the Azure Portal:
   • Navigate to the Azure portal and select your Azure Database for MySQL server.
   • On the Overview page, look for the Delete button. Click on it.
   • You'll need to type the server's name into the confirmation box to proceed with the deletion.
3. Use Azure CLI: If you prefer the command line, you can delete the server using the Azure CLI: First, make sure you are logged in to the correct Azure account and subscription by running:

      az login
      az account set --subscription "YourSubscriptionName"
   

   Then, execute the delete command:

      az mysql flexible-server delete --resource-group myresourcegroup --name mydemoserver
   

   Replace <your-resource-group> with the actual resource group name that contains your database server.
4. Check Activity Logs: If the deletion fails, check the Activity Log in the Azure portal. Look for any ongoing operations that might be blocking the deletion.
5. Retry the Deletion: Sometimes transient issues can cause deletions to fail. If the above steps don’t work, try waiting a few minutes and retrying the deletion.
