packer -build -force is not deleting existing image

[Mumtaz Khan]

Hi 

I am using packer 1.2.5 . I am using a powershell job in VSTS and manually running packer build. 

packer build -force doesn't delete existing resource group for target managed image. Is there a known issue . also doesn't export manifest.json in output.

Hello

Packer build doesn't create a resource group in Azure the first time

why you expect it will delete/create with force in the second time?

if you you do packer build -force will only overwrite the existing VM.

If you want to delete/create a clean ResourceGroup, you can use terraform for that.
