    Hey Kensei,

    Please find the summary of our discussion and resolution.

    Issue: You created function app using Bicep script and then you deleted it. You tried to undelete and force delete also but it did not work.

    1. CLI-force the delete
      Run 
         az functionapp delete
   --name func-pqm-mfg-test
   --resource-group

    Resolution: The hostname/function app name was reserved so it was not allowing to create the function app with same name again. With the help of backend team, we were able to release the hostname. And you confirmed that you are able to create now.
