Delete Instance button on Azure dashboard is gone ! Unable to delete staging instance

Question

Yesterday I uploaded a new deployement on staging instance, VIP swapped, all good, then when I wanted to delete staging instances like usual... I didn't see any delete button anymore on the page CLOUD SERVCIES > INSTANCES > STAGING of the dashboard. And today still no button.

No way to contact MS withou paying for a premium support I will use one time only. Well that's clever from MS... I mean... I'm paying the staging instance even if it does not serve any purpose.

Tried to use REST API but I can't get the authorized access.

Anyway, I do need this delete button back on staging instances ! Anyone ?

Answer 1

Click on "Dashboard" and then you should see the "DELETE" button in the bottom application bar. Hovering over "DELETE" should bring up a menu to delete the production or staging deployment (or the cloud service itself).

Answer 2

As you mentioned, looks like Azure Cmdlets is the only option right now (the delete button is no longer showed in the management portal).

Remove-AzureDeployment [-ServiceName] <String> [-Slot] <String>
