I can't delete azure alert

Question

i have the following alert in Azure:

PS C:\> Get-AzResource -Name "alert for rg"

Name              : alert for rg ResourceGroupName : plaz-rg2 ResourceType      : Microsoft.AlertsManagement/actionRules Location    : global ResourceId        : /subscriptions/XXXX/resourceGroups/plaz-rg2/providers/Microsoft.Alerts
                    Management/actionRules/alert for rg

I was deleting it before but it is still visible.

I can't delete resource group because of it.

PS C:\> Remove-AzResourceGroup -name "plaz-rg2"

Confirm
Are you sure you want to remove resource group 'plaz-rg2'
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [Remove-AzResourceGroup], CloudException

When I'm trying to delete the alert alone it is not possible

PS C:\> Remove-AzResource -Name "alert for rg" -ResourceType Microsoft.AlertsManagement/actionRules

Confirm
Are you sure you want to delete the following resource:
/subscriptions/XXXX/providers/Microsoft.AlertsManagement/actionRules/alert%20for%20rg
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): y
Remove-AzResource : ResourceNotFound : The Resource 'Microsoft.AlertsManagement/actionRules/alert for rg' under resource gr

+ CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [Remove-AzResource], ErrorResponseMessageException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Cmdlets.Implementation.RemoveAzureResourceCmdlet

Any idea how to get rid of it?

Answer 1

I see this behavior if we are not passing the ResourceGroupName as input parameter along with Remove-AzResource.

However if you pass in the ResourceGroupName it runs successfully. Please try this out.

Additional documentation reference to remove AlertRule.

Hope this helps.
