Hi @Rap-Pilot,

I see the resource group is used by azure resource mover operations. I order to delete it, please follow below steps

Go to Azure Resource Mover:

In the Azure Portal, search for “Resource Mover”.

Select the Region Pair:

Look for a move collection that involves italynorth and westeurope.

Cancel or Delete the Move Collection:

If you no longer need the move:

Select the move collection.

Click "Delete move collection".

If there’s a pending move operation, cancel it first, then delete the collection.

Wait a Few Minutes:

Azure might take a few minutes to release the lock on ResourceMoverRG-italynorth-westeurope-ne.

Then Delete the Resource Group:

Once the move collection is gone, go back to Resource groups and delete ResourceMoverRG-italynorth-westeurope-ne.

Please let me know if you face any challenges while doing it

Hi @Rap-Pilot

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

Even though i don't see any resource listed under the Resource group 'ResourceMoverRG-italynorth-westeurope-ne' as per the snapshot shared by you,

But as I read the error, it seems issue of failing to delete the resource group ResourceMoverRG-italynorth-westeurope-ne is due to existing move resources still available under the Resource Mover associated with the Resource group.

To validate if you have existing resources in Azure Resource Mover under current subscription -

Navigate to the Azure portal.
Go to Azure Resource Mover.
Select Across regions select all the resources you want to remove from the collection which are part of the Resource group and select Remove.
In Remove resources, select Remove.

The steps are listed on the below page -
