Cleaning up data resources

When you are done with a SQL Server database, you can clean up the resources used.

Removing Azure resources

You can now remove the resources used by SQL Database to save costs:

1. In the Azure portal, find the resource group named apps-services-net7.
2. Click Delete.
3. Enter the name of the resource group.
4. Click Delete.

Removing Docker resources

You could now remove the resources used by Docker, but many of the other chapters in this book will need to connect to a Northwind database in SQL Server.

If you have completed all the chapters in the book, or plan to use full SQL Server or Azure SQL Database, and now want to remove all the Docker resources, then follow these steps:

1. At the command prompt or terminal, stop the azuresqledge container, as shown in the following command:

   docker stop azuresqledge
   

2. At the command prompt or terminal, remove the azuresqledge container, as shown in the following command:

   docker rm azuresqledge
   

   Removing the container will delete all data inside it.

3. At the command prompt or terminal, remove the azure-sql-edge image to release its disk space, as shown in the following command:

   docker rmi mcr.microsoft.com/azure-sql-edge
