The issue is we migrated from physical servers to Azure using Azure migrate and we started using these test VM's that we got from test migrations but never fully migrated them.

We did the test migration in a different new Subscription and resource group. We would like to keep and continue using these test migration VM's as is. But we are trying to get rid of the old Recovery Services Vault that has unnecessary Azure Site Recovery costs associated with it in the old subscription.

If we were to Cancel and delete the resources within this older subscription that has replicated items. Would the deletion of the Recovery Services vault from the old subscription have any affect on the test migration VM's that currently reside in the other new subscription and resource group?

    @Ahmed Khan

    However, you already migrated test VM in azure, if you want can disable replication there is no impact.

    Disable will disable the replication and remove all the related configuration. It won’t affect the already existing Azure VM.

    Commit means that this is not the end. The replication item along with all the configuration will remain, and the customer can hit ‘Re-protect’ at a later point in time.

    @Ahmed Khan It is not very clear from your question as to why the VMs were protected under Recovery services vault originally, if it was an earlier attempt at migration using ASR or if it was for DR purposes.
    If these were independent activities, and if the physical servers have already been migrated and you have followed the best practices mentioned by migrate to complete the migration(link below), and as an added measure, you clean up the replication of existing protected instances in the Recovery services vault, you should be good.
