Unable to delete a disabled Azure Database for MySQL flexible server

I have an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server resource, which is now in a disabled state. All its sub-resources had been deleted includes computes, storage, networking, and databases. However, I cannot delete this Azure Database for MySQL flexible server resource. By clicking the delete buttons, it always ran a while then told me that the delete operation failed.

I checked the activity logs, something weird that there are plenty "Get MySQL Servers List" activities which are still in "running" status...

Anyone has insights?

    Hi kakukogou

    We checked this internally with our PG team. The delete operation was blocked due to a stuck backend request (DisableSubscriptionManagementOperation) that remained in a running state, causing the delete workflow to stay queued.

    The PG team canceled the stuck request, purged the SAL, and successfully dropped the MySQL flexible server. The server has now been removed.

    Could you please refresh the Azure portal and confirm that the resource is no longer visible?
