Failed to delete Workspace Identity
When I try to delete the Workspace Identity it failed, I am the owner of this workspace and I created the workspace identity a couple months ago.
What I've tried:
1. Removed all existing connections which used the workspace identity;
- Try fab cli to remove it, failed;
- Try RestAPI to deprovisionIdentity, failed;
- Try create and delete the workspace identity for another workspace I owned successfully.
Any clues on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Some of the components in Fabric will not reflect action immediately, wait for at least few hours.

Thanks for your answer. Yes I've tried many times in the past 72 hours and still failed.

Hi Rom_Cheng ,
Thanks for providing the details. Based on the troubleshooting already completed, the issue does not appear to be related to workspace permissions or existing connections.
Please try the following:
- Check the Workspace Identity status under Workspace Settings → Workspace Identity.
- If the identity is in a Failed/Delete Failed state, wait and retry the deletion.
- If you have Fabric Administrator access, try deleting the identity from Fabric Admin Portal → Fabric identities.
- Please do not manually delete the associated Entra ID service principal/application, as this can cause the Workspace Identity to become unusable.
- If the identity still cannot be deleted through either the workspace or Fabric Admin Portal, the issue is likely related to the backend Workspace Identity lifecycle for this specific workspace.
In that case, we recommend raising a Microsoft Support ticket and providing the Workspace ID, Workspace Identity details, current identity status, exact error message, REST API response, and timestamp of the failed deletion.
