Steps to Reproduce

No actions applicable. The ReconcileError was thrown automatically.

What happened?

When Crossplane tries to reconcile my RedisLinkedServer resource, I recieve the following error:

create failed: async create failed: failed to create the resource: [{0 A resource with the ID "/subscriptions/***/resourceGroups/rg-stage-blue/providers/Microsoft.Cache/redis/redis-stage-blue-trading/linkedServers/redis-stage-green-trading" already exists - to be managed via Terraform this resource needs to be imported into the State. Please see the resource documentation for "azurerm_redis_linked_server" for more information. []}]

I am not what really happens. I did not change anything in the manifest and suddenly we're getting this error! The resource is healthy on the Azure side.

Provider version: xpkg.upbound.io/upbound/provider-azure-cache:v

we have same error with cosmos db:

" async create failed: failed to create the resource: [{0 CosmosDB Account dcdb001asct-nl2 already exists, please import the resource via terraform import []}] "

And I tried to add the external-name to see if it imported but no luck. I did earlier deploy a resource with this name, but it has been deleted long time ago.

Can I reset the state file in terraform or somehow fix it otherwise?
