In such situation you can use following PowerShell script to force the delete operation:
Connect-ServiceFabricCluster -ConnectionEndpoint <your-cluster-connection-endpoint> $nodes = Get-ServiceFabricNode foreach($node in $nodes) { $replicas = Get-ServiceFabricDeployedReplica -NodeName $node.NodeName -ApplicationName "fabric:/Your-App" foreach ($replica in $replicas) { Remove-ServiceFabricReplica -ForceRemove -NodeName $node.NodeName -PartitionId $replica.Partitionid -ReplicaOrInstanceId $replica.ReplicaOrInstanceId } }
