Stuck management of Azure Cache for Redis

Our Basic Azure Cache for Redis went down yesterday. Rebooting the cache failed. Since I was unable to raise a support ticket and we needed it working I tried deleting the resource and recreating it. Unfortunately it seems even the delete operation got stuck (currently for >30 minutes).

Currently it looks like I'm stuck with a resource that I cannot delete and it will continue to accrue a cost (and I cannot reuse the name). What I am I supposed to do in this situation?
