When setting up a deployment pipeline with Azure DevOps, I came across the following error: A vault with the same name already exists in deleted state. You need to either recover or purge existing key vault. Follow this link https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2149745 for more information on soft delete. The cause of the error was that after a previous attempt to deploy, I decided to clean up the resource groups I created, which included an Azure Key Vault.
