Az.Accounts version conflict

[mahmoud76]

Hi,
I got the below error every time I open cloudShell (PowerShell).

Import-Module: /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/profile.ps1:13
Line |
13 | Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Import-Module -Name PSCloudShellUtility
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| This module requires Az.Accounts version 2.12.5. An earlier version of Az.Accounts is imported in the current PowerShell session. Please open a new session before importing this
| module. This error could indicate that multiple incompatible versions of the Azure PowerShell cmdlets are installed on your system. Please see https://aka.ms/azps-version-error for
| troubleshooting information.

I tried the following commands as per the documentation, with no luck:

PS /home/mahmoud> Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId f24f799f-4ad0-4f93-bdc6-3aa22a2ddfe1

Also, I tried to update the module, but got the below error.

Hi @mahmoud76 -- Thank you for the issue. One way of fixing this is to try and uninstall the older module then install the new one. Please try:
Uninstall-module Az.accounts
Install-module Az.Accounts

Please let us know if this resolves the problem.

Many thanks, theJasonHelmick.
I've fixed it by recreating the cloudshell VM.
