Cancelling azure resource manager deployment

Question

Recently I\'ve started creating a new resource group but it seems to be stuck at provisioning server farm resource. Restarting deployment outputs the following error:

Answer 1

Stop-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment should cancel the deployment and preserve the resourcegroup if you need to go that route.

Answer 2

You can use the Remove-AzureResourceGroup cmdlet. It will start deleting the resources and cancel the deployment. However, the best way to avoid waiting for anything is to deploy with a different name, and let the delete run in the background.
