unable to delete datalake gen2 terraform code Error:Failure sending request: StatusCode=0

Question

I have deployed datalake gen2 successfully using Terraform. when updating terraform code for azure datalake gen2, I am getting following error

Error: [0m[0m[1mretrieving Path "path01" in File System "filesystem001" in Storage Account "storageaccount01": datalakestore.Client#GetProperties: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: context deadline exceeded

Releasing state lock. This may take a few moments...

I deleted storage account manually. Remove the storage account code from main.tf. Still the same error :( looks like ".tfstate" is causing the issue, since multiple resources deployed "main.tf" I cannot delete ".tfstate". Is there a way to clear ".tfstate" without impacting other resources?

Answer 1

Instead of deleting the storage account manually, you can delete a particuler resource using the below command without impacting the .tfstate file.

terraform destroy -target resourcename

The target flag can be used to focus terraform subset of resources.

where resourcename is combination=resource type+logical name
