Hello,
I have an AKS Arc cluster deployed on Azure Stack HCI (version 23H2) using the Jumpstart hcibox.
I am unable to delete the cluster. The resource is stuck in:
Attempts to delete the cluster via:
az aksarc deleteaz rest with forceDelete=true (API version 2024-07-15-preview)az connectedk8s delete...all result in: InvalidResourceOperation.
The ConnectedCluster wrapper remains in Azure, even though the following are true:
I followed Microsoft’s documented guidance:
I now have two affected clusters:

Hi Elvi Veruari,
Can you share more details about the error message as is it only InvalidResourceOperation or any other error code is also being displayed.
Can you share details on the 2nd affected cluster deletion process that was followed

Hi Elvi Veruari,
Delete the deployment: The most straightforward way is to delete the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes resource is via the Azure portal, just select cluster and delete it.
If you want to delete the entire environment, just delete the Azure resource group.
Please let me know if you have tried this: https://jumpstart.azure.com/azure_arc_jumpstart/azure_arc_k8s/general/onboard_k8s
If the issue still persists, can you provide me with the output:
Get the provisioned cluster instance resource and verify that it doesn't exist:az aksarc show -g <resource_group> -n <cluster_name>
Get the connected cluster resource and verify that it exists: az connectedk8s show -g <resource_group> -n <cluster_name>

Could you please provide me more information about this too
Hi Khoa Ly,
Can you please provide details on what exact information you would like to know. If it is a different issue, I request you to post another Question on Q&A Platform with right tags.
Thank you!
I have started the delete process again from the portal and I will add the screenshot. In the meantime I have a question: if I delete the resource group, probably I will delete everything that is created, so in this case,e this could not be done cause I have a working AKS arc here
Hi Elvi Veruari,
Thank you for replying back!
Yes, deleting the entire resource group is not a viable option if you have working AKS arc. Please try deleting the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes resource via the Azure portal and if the problem still persists, will help you investigate more on this! Please also run: az aksarc show -g <resource_group> -n <cluster_name> to check resource availability.
Meanwhile, can you provide me some details which I will be asking you through private message for deeper investigation!Hope this helps!
