Question

What is the azure resource 'azurerg' and how do I delete it.

Mark Sweeney 0

Hi,

I'm trying to delete all my azure resources so I can prep for a more production-like environment. On the portal dashboard, under 'All resources' all my resource groups are properly gone. However, when I go to Billing | Cost analysis, I see a resource group named 'azurerg'. I am getting billed for this rg every monty. Searching the web for info on this rg comes up blank. How do I delete the azurerg resource group?

Thanks.

Mark

Hello Mark Sweeney,

Check Cost Analysis → “Cost by resource” view to identify the exact service generating charges

If no active resources are found but charges continue, raise a Billing Support request for further investigation.

If you need assistance in raising support request kindly let us know?

Answer 1

The azurerg entry seen in Cost analysis is a normal Azure resource group. To stop being billed for it, delete that resource group and its resources from the subscription.

Use one of these methods:

Azure portal
1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. In the left pane, select Resource groups.
3. Locate and select the azurerg resource group.
4. Select Delete resource group.
5. When prompted, type azurerg to confirm and complete the deletion.
Azure CLI
```
   az group delete --name azurerg
```

PowerShell

   Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name azurerg

Deleting the resource group removes all resources inside it and stops future charges associated with those resources. If Cost analysis still shows charges after deletion, wait for billing data to refresh; if charges persist and you are sure the group is deleted, open a billing support request so a billing engineer can investigate.
