Trying to delete a custom domain in my Static Web App - It is stuck in a delete state

I was trying to add a custom domain to my Static Web App. It was unable to verify my DNS settings and I tried to delete the custom domain in my Azure Portal. There has been a spinner on the record saying "Deleting" for about 5 hours. I have tried adding the domain as a new one, but I cant as there is still the domain stuck in a delete state.

I have also tried to delete in the command line but it says the same thing. Not sure where to go from here.

Azure DNS

    Hi @Jayson K

    Azure Portal → Front Door → Custom domains your domain name found delete from here.

    Azure Portal → Static Web Apps → Your SWA → Custom domains check here your domain name still found or not.

    Azure will refuse deletion if old verification records still exist.

    Delete these from your DNS provider:

    • TXT record starting with asverify.<yourdomain>
    • CNAME pointing to *.azurestaticapps.net
    • CNAME pointing to *.azurewebsites.net

    Thanks.
