Change power bi region without microsoft support - like remove power bi service and restart

Last couple of days i try to google more information but i cannot find anything. i hope now that somebody can help me.
The current Power BI Service is in region A (azure region) but as an organization we want all the azure thing moving to region B. 

For power bi you can create a support ticket but: Move Power BI between regions - Power BI | Microsoft Learn 
1) it takes 6 months

2) currently only available if you have premium, which we dont have

is there any other way. Power BI is not that uses much so remove everything and restart would be an solution.
But i cannot find any way to liek remove power bi. only remove user access.

Hey @Maddy99 ,

 

Without Premium there is no way to move regions and moving regions can be quite complex depending on the number of reports, data sources ,gateways and other connections that you have.  Since you stated that you do not have many reports and that you do not have Premium, the only thing I can think of is that you delete everything you have and try again.  BUT, this is not really a strong recommendation becuase when you just purchase a PRO license you don't get to pick your region.  You are assigned a region based on where your tenant is location (usually).

I think your best bet is not to try to get a move but to get a new region - and you sign up with Microsoft support so that you get the region that you expect.  You may need to have the rest of your Azure tenant moved before you can move Power BI.
