The specified URL is already in use - azure

I went to create a new WorkerRole. I used one of my URL's... I noticed I forgot to pick the Region and it defaulted to East Asia. I needed to change that but I didn't see that capability in the portal so I decided to delete the instance and start over. Now, I can't use the same URL. How and where can I purge this from the Portal / Azure?

Did you delete the entire service, or just the deployment? You need to delete the service to free up the DNS name. The DNS name should be freed immediately upon deletion and there is no need to do anything else to 'purge' it from the portal.

How do I remove a published Azure CDN Rules Engine

I published a rule created by rules engine and it got deployed. But how do I remove / cancel the policy or delete it ? I no longer need it as its causing continues redirect and my service is not accessible. Note that I am using Premium Verizon pricing tier
According to the documentation
Only a single policy per environment may be active at any given time.
You don't really remove it, you just overwrite it.
You can create a new draft, lock it, and deploy it on top of the existing one.
Also note that you can't have an empty policy.

Moving resources from disabled to new subscription in Azure

I've got all my stuff under a subscription that got disabled (changed the employer). I registered a new one (pay-as-you-go on my own credit card). Attempting to move the deactivated sites to the new one failed and the portal says:
Resources cannot be moved from disabled subscriptions.
I've followed the link provided and googled around finding that "...source and destination subscriptions must be active...". That's not very helpful in my case as I have no means to make the admins managing the old subscription reactivate it, not even for a short while.
Do I have to scratch everything and re-publish the application? It won't let me do that on the same URL (and re-configurating the SQL server/DB might cause addition issues). Google gave me nada and I wonder if there's a way to simply move the stuff somehow in the portal.
I can't wait for the reply from MS support because the site manages a register for people with some mental disabilities and not being able to access the material is a huge blow on their daily peace.
Oh, I'm running the site pro-bono (out of my own pocket for the unfortunate souls) so a solution that's pricey might be a show-stopper.
This happened to me. Go to the subscription and reactive it by converting it to a pay-as-you-go subscription. Then you can download and move resources. If you don't need the subscription after that, you can delete it.

Accident delete disk BLOB with Windows Azure (MSA) Virtual Machine (VM)

I was in list Virtual Machines, switch to Cloud Services, click to delete one, BUT Azure portal was somelike freeze at first tab and remove me VM!!!
I tried to do something with support but exist there only call support.
What can I do?
How can I know undelete data BLOB?
Where to go?
There is no undelete feature in Storage service.
The best you can do is to contact support and hope they can do anything about this.
Anyway it is really strange behavior you observed. And all delete operations do ask whether you are sure you want to complete the operation. Either you didn't carefully read what is the confirmation about, or really there has been issue with the portal. Fact is that I've been using the portal ever since its preview and never occurred such behavior. But you never know what could happen...
Without subscription nobody from Microsoft help with deleted VM.
There is no recommend in current date from MS.

Azure VIP Swap to different number of end points

I'm trying to replace a hosted service with an empty redirect project, however when I try to do so I get the following error;
Windows Azure cannot perform a VIP swap between deployments that have a different number of endpoints.
I believe the only solutions available to me are the following;
Point DNS to the staging deployment which after 48 hours of
propagation delete the production instance and change my DNS to a
new deployment of the empty redirect project.
Delete the production instance and then immediately flip staging.
This will of course result in downtime.
Unfortunetly changing DNS records isnt an option for me at this stage so unless anyone can suggest an alternative I will have to go with Point #2.
Although my only query with this is once I delete production and flip staging will the new production instance retain the old IP as like I said above im unable to change the DNS records.
Thanks, any queries let me know.
I resolved this issue by adding the additional endpoints to staging through another deployment. Although the application will never use them it allowed me to deploy without downtime.
Alternative solutions are included in my question.
Once the current deployment in the Production slot is deleted, the IP address should be allocated back to the pool (not available to you).
To spare you the hassle of re-deploying and extra 15 min of wait,
you could do it within a minute by deleting PRODCTION slot (if it's applicable !), then you'll do a VIP Swap from
PROD: Empty
STAGING : Your deployment
"OK Deleted the production deployment of cloud service od..."
and end up having
"Successfully swapped the deployments in cloud service od..."
Vincent Thavonekham
This often is a result of having RDP (remote desktop) enabled in one slot but not the other. RDP creates additional endpoints, thus the error message. You can either (a) enable RDP on the one that doesn't have it or (b) disable RDP on the one that does have it. The VIP swap should then work.

Completely remove a subscription from Management Portal

In my Windows Azure Management Portal, I still see the "3-Month Free Trial" subscription although it has already expired and been canceled automatically. I've deleted both the hosted service in it and also the database, but it still doesn't disappear.
What can I do to completely remove a subscription?
According to the Azure support it is (currently) not possible to delete canceled subscriptions.
Greetings from Microsoft Azure. I reviewed your request and would
like to mention that there is unfortunately no option to remove the
disabled subscription from the Azure portal. This is by design to
enable customer’s view the subscriptions purchased by them right from
the day the Azure account was created.
I consider this a bad design choice but that probably is just me.
Visit the portal. In the upper-right corner, you should see a link for Billing.
This will take you to a list of your subscriptions.
Select your subscription. Then, on the right side, you'll see a few options, and one toward the bottom should be 'Cancel Subscription.'
I cancelled a subscription a few months ago by calling support, and have had it sitting in the interface ever since. Recently they notified me that they are going to delete it (and its associated storage) soon. I expect it will disappear then. Therefore I think they keep the subscription around for a while in case you ring them up and say "Heh, I didn't really want to cancel that!".
Additionally you also cannot get your account completely deleted either. You can request for subscriptions to be cancelled (as per original question) and Azure Support can action that but they can't/won't remove your actual account/login.
I'm not sure, but according to this page it seems that subscriptions are permanently removed 30 to 90 days after cancellation.
You can remove your subscription via Azure PowerShell.
