Removing a region from a Skytap on Microsoft Azure account

Although you can delete a subscription to a Skytap on Azure region from the Microsoft Azure portal, you will lose all Skytap environments, templates, and assets from the region.

Skytap on Azure provides a seven-day grace period to restore an inadvertently deleted region or Skytap on Azure account. For details, see Restoring a region to a Skytap on Microsoft Azure account.

If you intend only to zero the cost of a region, a simpler alternative is to simply shut down the environments in the region. This preserves your subscription to the region and all the environments, templates, and other assets in the region.
