    Hi Desmond Sindatry,

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the deletion of your enterprise cache for the Redis cluster.

    Here are a few potential reasons why the deletion might be stuck and some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

    • If there are any pending operations on the Redis cache, such as backups or updates, the deletion process might be delayed. You can check the status of these operations in the Azure Portal.
    • Ensure that there are no dependencies or resources linked to the Redis cache that might be preventing its deletion. This includes virtual networks, private endpoints, or other linked resources.

    Anything that I can do to force deletion?

    • You can use the Azure CLI to force the deletion of the Redis cache.
    az redis delete [--ids]
                    [--name]
                    [--resource-group]
                    [--subscription]
                    [--yes]
    

    For more information, please refer the document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/redis?view=azure-cli-latest#az-redis-delete

    • Similarly, you can use Azure PowerShell to delete the Redis cache.
    Remove-AzRedisCache
          [-ResourceGroupName <String>]
          -Name <String>
          [-Force]
          [-PassThru]
          [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
          [-WhatIf]
          [-Confirm]
          [<CommonParameters>]
    

    For more information, please refer the document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.rediscache/remove-azrediscache?view=azps-13.3.0&viewFallbackFrom=azps-13.1.0
