I had been using Azure DevOps (SaaS).
I have deleted a project with the intentions of removing my repository codebase from Microsoft servers.
The project has 28 days to restore. I'd prefer it not be able to be restored.
It matters to me that the project repo not be available on SaaS/Microsoft servers.
Can I delete the backup of the project I have deleted?
I do not think it is possible but felt it would be best to inquire your wisdom.

I have a lot of project on Azure DevOps. And I want to view my repository in other projects from within my current project. Is it possible to see repositories from different projects within the same project in Azure Devops?
No, this is not possible. You are limited just to repositories within your project. If this is your need, please consider moving all repos into one project.
Possible workaround: create a wiki page with links to the various repos in other projects. Keep in mind projects are secured separately so users might not be able to access repos in other projects.
I am trying to determine how to backup the online ADO account that I created on Microsoft's servers so that I can restore it on my own physical server. I have a few projects already started along with work items, repositories, pipeline jobs and NuGet artifacts already in place. It would take quite a while to rebuild the projects manually, not impossible, just not desirable.
I have looked and have not found any resource as to how to perform this or if it is even possible. Any help from someone who knows would be greatly appreciated!
Currently there is available extension: Azure DevOps Migration Tools, which allow you to migrate Teams, Work Items, Plans & Suits, and Shared Queries, & Pipelines from one Project to another in Azure DevOps/TFS both within the same Organization, and between Organizations. See: https://nkdagility.github.io/azure-devops-migration-tools/ for latest guidance.
In addition, for repositories, there is no such extensions, you could try to clone an existing Git repo and then push it to a new remote repo server.
BTW, you could use Rest APIs: Artifact Details to get artifacts and then publish them to new feed on Azure DevOps Server.
I am facing an issue with setup of azure pipelines. I am stuck with this window, where it will not give me any option to select azure project.
Here is what I have done already.
created a repo on github.
created an AzureDevOps account and created a project.
Build agent is setup along with build configurations in AzureDevOps which is getting the source from GitHub repo.
How can I get my AzureDevOps project to be populated in the given image?
Somehow I found a crude way to fix this issue, this may not be the ideal solution.
Now I am able to see the azure devops project. It looked as if I have multiple Azure subscriptions mapped to my account and there was a conflict somewhere.
I deleted the %local% folder.
The absolute path is C:\Users*USERNAME*\AppData\Local
Is it possible to connect on-premises TFS source control to Azure Visual Studio source code repository? If so, could you please write down the steps involved?
So far I haven't found anything by googlying for the question. The only way I can think of is to write a job in the Windows task scheduler that will pick up files from on-premises source control and send them to the Azure TFS. I havent done that get but with some effort it can be done.
Is there any other straight forward way of achieving the results?
If you mean to connect TFS to VSO you can do this with the TFS Integration Tools with a two way sync. Be warned that this is a really silly thing to do and I would not recommend it.
A better solution would be to simply move to VSO. You can use a one way sync with the TFS Integration Tools or OpsHub. Once there you use VSO as the primary.
You can still install and use a local TF Build server or a local Release Management server so that you can build and deploy locally.
You can even configure AAD integration to create single sign on from your local domain.

I'm trying to setup TFS publishing from within the Azure Management Portal.
After authorization, one is suppose to select a project. But all I get is:
Your TFS account has no projects
But my TFS account certainly has many projects, I can see them when logging in there.
What have I missed?
Oh, just found this.
Nothing you did wrong. Deploying from TFS's git repository to Windows
Azure is not yet supported. It is on our radar tentatively mid of
this year.
The reason seems to be that my project(s) are Git repositories. (Not TFS repositories)
(turning a comment into an answer)
Until Azure supports web site deployments directly from TFService hosted Git repositories you can use an automated build to do the deployment.
