Answer 1

I used to encounter the same problem, there are SQL backups in the vault. You need find SQL backups and delete them.

You could check this answer to solve this issue.

$vault = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVault -Name "VaultName"

Set-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVaultContext -Vault $vault

#VIEW THE BACKUP ITEMS
$container = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType AzureSQL -FriendlyName $vault.Name

$item = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $container -WorkloadType AzureSQLDatabase

$availableBackups = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $item

$availableBackups      
#REMOVE THE BACKUP ITEMS AND VAULT
$containers = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType AzureSQL -FriendlyName $vault.Name

ForEach ($container in $containers)
{
    $items = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -container $container -WorkloadType AzureSQLDatabase

    ForEach ($item in $items)
    {
        Disable-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtection -item $item -RemoveRecoveryPoints -ea SilentlyContinue
    }

    Unregister-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -Container $container
}

Remove-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVault -Vault $vault
