Recursive delete Azure Management groups
When testing bicep templates that create Azure Management Groups, a recursive removal of chosen management group and all of it’s children is a much needed tool.
Sifting through the documentation of the Az.Resources module, such thing does not seams to exist. And after a quick search I found a post on Stack Overflow that I copied and changed to my needs.
To use the function, copy the code and run it in powershell or dot-source it.
Then call the function with the parameter -ManagementGroupId set to the ID of the management group you recursively want to delete.
