Delete deployments and a cloud service

Before you can delete a cloud service, you must delete each existing deployment.
To save compute costs, you can delete the staging deployment after you verify that your production deployment is working as expected. You are billed for compute costs for deployed role instances that are stopped.
Use the following procedure to delete a deployment or your cloud service.

1. 
   In the Azure portal, select the cloud service you want to delete. This step opens the cloud service instance blade.
   
2. 
   On the blade, select Delete.
   

3. 
   To delete the entire cloud service, select the Cloud service and its deployments check box. Or you can choose either the Production deployment or the Staging deployment check box.
   

4. 
   Select Delete at the bottom.
   
5. 
   To delete the cloud service, select Delete cloud service. Then, at the confirmation prompt, select Yes.
   

 Note
When a cloud service is deleted and verbose monitoring is configured, you must delete the data manually from your storage account. For information about where to find the metrics tables, see Introduction to cloud service monitoring.

Find more information about failed deployments

The Overview blade has a status bar at the top. When you select the bar, a new blade opens and displays any error information. If the deployment doesn't contain any errors, the information blade is blank.
