The Network Watcher resource represents the backend service for Network Watcher, which is fully managed by Azure. You don't need to manage it. Operations like move aren't supported on the resource. However, Network Watcher instance can be deleted to disable Network Watcher in a particular region. For more information, see [Disable Network Watcher for your region](network-watcher-create.md#disable-network-watcher-for-your-region).

What is the NetworkWatcherRG?
8286
answer: |
8387
NetworkWatcherRG is a resource group that's automatically created for Network Watcher resources. For example, Network Watcher regional instances and the NSG flow log resources are created in **NetworkWatcherRG** resource group. You can customize the name of Network Watcher resource group using [PowerShell](network-watcher-create.md?tabs=powershell#enable-network-watcher-for-your-region), [Azure CLI](network-watcher-create.md?tabs=cli#enable-network-watcher-for-your-region), or [REST API](/rest/api/network-watcher/network-watchers/create-or-update).

- question: |
90+
What ?
91+
answer: |
92+
Azure Network Watcher doesn't store customer data, except for the Connection monitor. Connection monitor stores customer data, which is automatically stored by Network Watcher in a single region to satisfy in-region data residency requirements.
