Unable to delete restore point in Azure backup

I hope someone can help me because I've been looking for a solution for hours.

I have created a VM in Azure and enabled backup. This morning I deleted the VM, and the recovery service vault I created for my backups.

Deletion of the VM and recovery service vault was successful. However, a restore point collection has been left behind which I cannot delete. When I open the collection I see that there is 1 snapshot present, but I cannot delete it either.

When I remove it I get the following error:

enter image description here

In the log I find the following text:

There is an active shared access signature outstanding for disk restore point

Anyone have any idea what's going wrong?

Solution

  • The problem has been solved with help of support engineers, it was necessary to revoke SAS access of the disk restore point via the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/compute/disk-restore-point/revoke-access?tabs=HTTP#code-try-0

    Unfortunately it was not possible to do this via the Azure portal as the snapshot itself was already deleted.
