    Hello Naveen Singh Boura ,

    Thank you for reaching out on the Microsoft Q&A .

    To remove a VM backup from your Recovery Services Vault, follow these steps:

    1. Go to the Azure portal and open your Recovery Services Vault.
    2. Find the VM under "Backup Items" and select it.
    3. If backups are running, stop them by clicking "Stop Backup" in the "Operations" section.
    4. Once stopped, click "Delete backup data" on the VM's "Backup" blade and confirm the deletion.

    Remember, deleted backups stay for 14 days due to the "Soft Delete" feature. If you disabled Soft Delete to remove the backup, re-enable it in the vault's "Properties" under "Security settings."

    I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
