    Hi Abhishek sharma

    Preparation

    • Backup Data: Download any data you want to keep from Azure Storage, SQL Database, virtual machines, or other services.
    • Delete All Resources: In the Azure portal, go to each resource group within your subscription and delete all resources. Enable "Show hidden types" in the portal to view and delete any hidden resources that may remain.
    • Stop Services: Make sure all running services (VMs, apps, etc.) are stopped before deleting.
    • Cancel SaaS Subscriptions: Manually cancel any active SaaS subscriptions linked to your Azure subscription.
