Lately, I have spoken at 2 Azure events in Montréal.

When preparing for the 2 events and while demoing in the 2 events, I created many Azure SQL Databases and Azure SQL Servers.

Now it is the time to cleanup not to use too much credits.

Azure SQL Databases are easily deleted using either the old portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com) or the new portal (https://portal.azure.com/).

But deleting Azure SQL Servers is another story. There is nothing (yet) letting you do it.

I searched and found that we need to use Azure PowerShell. You need to use Remove-AzureSqlDatabaseServer as shown in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn546728.aspx. To install Azure PowerShell, check http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/install-configure-powershell/. If it is your first experiments with Azure PowerShell, you might want to have a look at http://michaelwasham.com/windows-azure-powershell-reference-guide/getting-started-with-windows-azure-powershell/.
