I am trying to remove my unnecessary Azure subsriptions by executing Powershell commands, but the removed subscriptions never disappear from the Azure portal. Can anyone advice me on this?

A-I    If you have used the remove-azuresubscription cmdlet;

B-       this does_not_ delete the subscription it only removes it from the PowerShell environment:

Details from the link above:

The Remove-AzureSubscription cmdlet deletes an Azure subscription from your subscription data file so
Windows PowerShell can't find it. This cmdlet does not delete the subscription
from Microsoft Azure, or change the actual subscription in any way.

Here are details on how to cancel:

Hope this is helpful!
