Issue 2 – Unrecoverable

In case of very critical and understandable situation and behaviours, or you have an error as below, then the installation is probably corrupted, reinstall Azure PowerShell

you probably need to clean everything and starting from scratch, execute the command below in PowerShell

get-module azure* -list |uninstall-module

This command uninstalls any module starting with azure

You will see a lot of red error because resources locked, leave it terminate.

After that, restart and install back using Web Installer, refer below, good article.
