When I try to delete a resource such as an API or subscription from my APIM instance, I receive error messages such as:
API Management
Could not delete operation Create resource. Please try again later. Correlation ID: 010ee6a0-1559-436f-8ba5-f9104704cd83 Timestamp: 2024-06-19T12:47:00.618Z
Failed to delete subscription
Invalid payload format. Contract should have 'properties' specified. Correlation ID: b11bc2d3-475b-4c7a-b982-e6c33288d3aa
I receive the error messages in multiple Azure regions, and in different Azure subscriptions.
Does someone have an idea what might be the issue?
Hello @Nathan Hofstee
Use the Azure CLI to get detailed information about your APIM instance and resources.
az apim show --name <apim-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>
Retry the delete operation using the CLI to see if it provides more detailed error messages.
az apim api delete --name <api-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --service-name <apim-name>
Additionally, Check the Activity Log under the Monitoring section for any failed operations. Look up the correlation IDs in the log to get more detailed error information.
Don't forget to mark my reply as Answer if it resolves your issue.

Thank you for the quick reply! Unfortunately the CLI delete operation returned the same errormessage as the Azure Portal:
(ValidationError) Invalid payload format. Contract should have 'properties' specified.
Code: ValidationError
Message: Invalid payload format. Contract should have 'properties' specified.

A temp work around is to delete the Api tag on that APIM then try again, That has worked for us

I am able to delete an APIM User using the RESTful call: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/rest/api/apimanagement/user/delete?view=rest-apimanagement-2022-08-01&tabs=HTTP
This is working for me now. APIM stv2 / West US

We have the same issue in Terraform when trying to recreate APIs and also with the API Management API for deleting the API Management Subscription keys. We also noticed that the issue was not in place when using the latest api-version=2023-09-01-preview

Do we have an SR for this issue? so we do not create multiples for it.

We are seeing this same issue in Central US, but were able to use the Managment API to work around it for the moment.
Although this doesn't seem to work to delete users no matter what API version I choose

The temp solution for adding lifecycle like here https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/23399 is working for us
lifecycle {
ignore_changes = [api_id]
}

I am getting a different error today when trying to provision APIM with Terraform:
