Why aren't my taken quotas cleared after deleting the whole resource group in Azure Portal?

as x 0

Hello. I've created some projects in Azure AI Foundry and deleted the whole resource group in Azure Portal to release quotas. However, after doing so and creating a new project (and AI Hub), I found that the quotas that I once used are still taken and haven't been released. How can I release the quotas?

The scenario is like this. I opened the Quota page in Azure AI Foundry management center and there're nothing at all in the table on the left but stats on the right show that I've taken up the quota just like before deleting. So the deleted projects are like zombie projects taking up my quota. How shall I resolve this?

Thank you for help.

Hi as x,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

After deleting a resource group, quotas may not be released immediately due to backend delays, incomplete resource cleanup, or synchronization issues.

This can happen if some resources or metadata remain in the system, preventing the quota from being freed up.

To resolve this, wait for the system to update, check for any remaining or hidden resources, refresh the quota page if applicable.

Thank You.

Well found out that they'll be automatically released in 48 hours if they're deleted brutally from the portal.

The better plan is to delete them in the AI Foundry, which will only delay several minutes.

Thank you.

Waited for about 2 days and it went fine.

Probably, deleting them in the Azure Portal brutally will cause this issue.

However, deleting the models in the Azure AI Foundry will make quotas recover within a few minutes.

Thank you.

Hi as x,

Thank you for sharing your experience and insights! It's great to know that waiting for a couple of days resolved the issue, and that deleting models directly in Azure AI Foundry helps recover quotas quickly. Your observation about avoiding deletions in the Azure Portal to prevent potential issues is very helpful and would help community.

Thanks again for your valuable input!
