Windows Azure: Delete disk attached to non-existent VM

问题

Just found out I was taking up - and paying for - a lot of storage due to abandoned disks from long ago deleted VMs. I manged to delete most of them, but now I'm stuck with a set that cannot be deleted as they remain attached to VMs nowhere to be found.

Any ideas how to get rid of these disks, PowerShell tricks maybe?

回答1:

If I am understanding correct, Once you delete a Virtual Machine, it delete the service but keep a copy of the VHD image under Disks. So please go to the Disks tab under virtual Machine and try to delete it.

If that is not the case, please add a screenshot with error message from where your trying to delete VM.

The only way to do this that I can see is through PowerShell. I ran into the same problem and here's how I fixed it. I installed the Azure PowerShell extensions and configured my subscription and then my storage account. Once I did that I then ran this command

get-azuredisk | Remove-AzureDisk

Get-azuredisk will grab all disks In my case I needed all of them removed. If you need to do individual then you need to get the name of the disk and then run remove-azuredisk with the name switch and specify the disk name to remove it. That fixed it for me. Hope this helps someone in the future.

In the "new" Azure portal. Select Storage Accounts, then click on the storage account" where your none used VHD's are located, Click Blobs under Services, Click vhds under Essentials, search for unwanted vhd and click delete.

I was unable to use the (2016) web portal to delete orphaned disks in my (classic) storage account. The answers here work, but here is a more detailed walk-through for deleteing these orphaned disks with PowerShell.

PowerShell

Download and install PowerShell if you haven't already. (Install and configure Azure PowerShell.) Initial steps from this doclink:

• Check that the Azure PowerShell module is available after installing:
  Get-Module –ListAvailable

• If the Azure PowerShell module is not listed, you may need to import it:
  Import-Module Azure

• Login to Azure Resource Manager:
  Login-AzureRmAccount

AzurePublishSettingsFile

• Retreive your PublishSettingsFile.
  Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile

  • Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile launches manage.windowsazure.com and prompts you to download an XML file that you can be saved anywhere.
    
  • Reference: Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile Documentation

• Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile and specify the path to the file just saved.
  Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile -PublishSettingsFile '<your file path>'

Show and Remove Disks

• Show current disks. (Reference: Azure Storage Cmdlets)
  Get-AzureDisk

• Quickly remove all disks. (Credit to Mike's answer)
  get-azuredisk | Remove-AzureDisk

• Or remove disks by name. (Credit to Remove-AzureDisk Documentation)
  Remove-AzureDisk -DiskName disk-name-000000000000000000 -DeleteVHD
