Question: In a MS Purview, how can we delete a Business Glossary or rename it? There may be cases where you incorrectly created a Business Glossary or you had a spelling mistake, how can we rectify that mistake?

I am unable to delete a Business Glossary in a MS Purview account. The document Create and manage glossary terms from MS Purview team explains how to delete Business Glossary Terms but not a Business Glossary.

As with most things in Azure, if you don't see the functionality you are looking for in the portal, you need to look at the REST API or PowerShell. Here is how to do it in the REST API.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/purview/catalogdataplane/glossary/delete-glossary?tabs=HTTP

As for PowerShell, I am not seeing any native cmdlets to delete a glossary but there is a tool on the Azure GitHub page that will allow you to make the REST API calls using PowerShell. You can view that here:
