If you inadvertently remove the Azure Arc resource bridge via the Azure portal, it results in the deletion of the Azure projection of the on-premises appliance VM. Importantly, this action doesn't impact your existing workloads. To restore the Azure projection of the Azure Arc resource bridge, run `az arcappliance create`. For more information, see [az arcappliance create hci](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/arcappliance/create?view=azure-cli-latest#az-arcappliance-create-hci). If the appliance on-premises VM is accidentally deleted, you lose the ability to manage your VMs through Azure portal, your workloads remain accessible through local on-premises tools like Windows Admin Center, Hyper-V, and PowerShell. To reinstate the Azure Arc resource bridge, a redeployment is required. For assistance with this process, contact Microsoft support.

Two DVD drives are created and used in Azure Local VMs during VM provisioning. The ISO files used during provisioning are removed after successfully creating the VM. However, you might see the empty drives visible for the VM.

To delete these drives in a Windows VM, use Device Manager to uninstall the drives. Depending on the flavor of Linux you are using, you can also delete them for Linux VMs.

When the VMs are created on your Azure Local via Azure CLI or Azure portal, a system-assigned managed identity is also created that lasts for the lifetime of the VMs.
