Description

I am trying to delete an existing trial container (which has expired). The SPE VSCode extension rejects the delete request with "Failed to delete container type: Failed to unregister container type b2d09ec3-88c0-42ef-8170-4fee582c0778: Cannot delete a container type with active or soft deleted containers."

Fine, I probably need to delete all containers first, but the VSCode extension doesn't show any (just the text "Changes to containers may take up to 30 minutes to show up here".

Graph Explorer does show up the containers linked to this containerType.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the delete flow in the SharePoint Embedded VS Code extension for the expired container type, then compare the extension's container list with the containers shown in Graph Explorer. Done means the extension accurately reflects the linked containers and allows the reported deletion workflow to complete or clearly reports the remaining blockers.
