Delete Azure Databricks Workspace resource but reference remains in Account Console

[Kim3]

As the title says. I have deleted both the Azure Databricks Workspace resource and the resource group it was located in. However, I can still see the workspace in the account console. Also, it appears in the response from GET https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/api/2.0/accounts/{databricksAccountId}/workspaces

I have tried to remove by calling DELETE https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/api/2.0/accounts/{databricksAccountId}/workspaces/{workspaceId}

This returned 200 OK, but the workspace reference remains in the account console. How do I remove it?

Hi @Kim3, 

Here are some steps you can follow to ensure the workspace is properly removed:

1. Check Deployment Status:

   • If the workspace deployment failed, it might cause issues during deletion. Review the error details in the activity log tab and retry creating the workspace if needed.
   • Alternatively, you can redeploy the Databricks workspace by going to the resource group, selecting “...¹.

2. Delete the Deployment First:

   • Before deleting the workspace, ensure that you delete the deployment associated with it. Removing the deployment should precede workspace deletion.
   • Once the deployment is removed, proceed to delete the workspace.

3. Use Azure Powershell or Azure CLI:

   • You can use either Azure Powershell or Azure CLI to delete the workspace.
   • If you encounter issues with the DELETE request, ensure that you’re using the correct API version (e.g., 2018-04-01).
   • If the request returns a 202 status code, the workspace will be deleted soon².

4. Workspace Admin Settings:

   • Log into your Azure Databricks workspace as the account owner (the user who created the service).
   • Click the user profile account icon at the top right and select “Manage Account.”
   • In the Azure Databricks service, click “Azure Delete” and then confirm by clicking "OK".

5. Contact Support:

   • If none of the above steps work, consider reaching out to Azure support. Sometimes, managed resource groups created by Databricks cannot be deleted due to deny assignments.
   • The support team might be able to assist you in resolving this issue⁴.

Remember to follow these steps carefully, and hopefully, you’ll be able to remove the lingering workspace reference successfully. If you encounter any further issues, don’t hesitate to seek additional assistance! 😊🚀
