az vm delete Command Does Not Return an Error When the Specified Resource Group or Virtual Machine Does Not Exist

### Describe the bug

When executing the az vm delete command with a non-existent virtual machine name and/or resource group, the command completes successfully without returning an error, warning, or non-zero exit code. This behaviour may mislead users and automation workflows into assuming that the deletion operation was successful, even though the target resource was never present.

### Related command

az vm delete --resource-group pav -n pavithra

### Errors

It does not return any error
