Does anyone know solution to this? I wonder if I need to contract MSFT support on this.

Using Azure Ruby SDK tried: Created VM - worked VM power OFF, power ON - worked. Let it come up and tried to delete VM - failed at the last stage.

Here is what what VM delete produced:

Deleting deployment of cloud service "qa-sdk-ubuntu-2" ... succeeded (200)

Deleting cloud service qa-sdk-ubuntu-2. Waiting for disk to be released.

Deleting Disk "qa-sdk-ubuntu-2-qa-sdk-ubuntu-2-0-201402132358010165". http error 400

Also, then tried the same thing from portal and got 400 with the following message:

{""message":
  "Storage account qasdkubuntu2storageruvdl has container(s) which have an active image and/or disk artifacts. 
  Ensure those artifacts are removed from the image repository before deleting this storage account.",
  "ErrorMessage":"Storage account qasdkubuntu2storageruvdl has  container(s) which have an active image and/or disk artifacts. 
  Ensure those artifacts are removed from the image repository before deleting this storage account.",
  "httpStatusCode":"BadRequest","operationTrackingId":"ec03fe06212d61f49786aee29563a661","stackTrace":null,"Padding":null}

You can't remove your storage account, because it's storing the disk of your vm.

Here's a setup to remove it:

1-Log in to Windows Azure Managemente Portal

2-Virtual Machines

3-Disks and select the disk

4-click "Delete Disk".

after that, you can remove the storage account.

  • Yep, tried that and gives back the same 400 with the message (see original post with json body in it) – user3230389 Feb 14 '14 at 01:28
