AzureWipe

Automated Azure resource cleanup tool. Deletes orphaned resources across all subscriptions and regions, reduces costs, maintains account hygiene.

Azure equivalent of awswipe.

Why

• Dev/test subscriptions accumulate unused resources
• Orphaned disks, NICs, and public IPs cost money
• Manual cleanup is tedious and error-prone
• Azure doesn't auto-delete your forgotten infrastructure
