Unable to delete the Restore Point Collection resource in Azure Portal

I have create the Linux VM with Ubuntu 20.04 OS and took the backup of that VM using Recovery Service Vault.

Then I removed all the resources as part of testing activity but only one resource is not deleting as you can see below screenshot:

Failed to delete restore point collection 'AzureBackup_newlinuxvm001_949978843408613'

Solution

  • Unable to delete the Restore Point Collection resource in Azure Portal

    The error message suggests that there is a restore point collection associated with your Recovery Services Vault that you are trying to delete. If there are recovery points associated with the collection, it cannot be deleted until the dependencies are removed from RSV.

    Before deleting the Recovery Services Vault , ensure that all associated backup policies for the virtual machine within the Recovery Services Vault have been deleted.

    If the problem persists, please go to settings and turn off the Soft deletion option.

    After deleting all backup policies related to the virtual machine, the recovery service point was also deleted
