+## Delete Recovery Services vault and Backup vault using Copilot 
+
+Azure Business Continuity Center Copilot allows you to initiate and automate vault deletion operation from the **delete vault** page.
+
+To delete a vault using Copilot, follow these steps:
+
+1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/), go to the specific vault, and then select **Copilot**.
+1. On the **Copilot** pane, use the prompt **Help me delete this vault**.
+
+   Copilot then performs the following actions:
+
+   - Identifies all backup and replicated items linked to the vault, removing the need for manual dependency checks.
+   - Reviews the vault properties (such as private endpoint status) to offer tailored recommendations.
+   - Checks for the Soft Delete state. If enabled, Copilot provides the option to disable the security feature.
+
+     >[!Note]
+     >If Soft Delete is set to **Enabled with always on**, vault deletion can't proceed.
+
+   After all the conditions suggested by Copilot are addressed, Copilot provides the PowerShell script for download to delete the vault. 
+1. Select **Yes** to download, and then run the script to delete the vault.
