A. B.B
You are not charged for unused network interfaces. Therefore, deleting unused network interfaces will not reduce the Azure costs for the company.

Network interfaces are used to attach a virtual machine to a virtual network, and if they are not being used, they are still incurring costs. By removing them, the company will no longer be charged for those unused resources.
However, it is important to note that this solution may not be sufficient to significantly reduce the overall Azure costs of the company. The unused user accounts, groups, and public IP addresses may also be incurring costs, and those should be evaluated and addressed as well. Additionally, the company may need to consider other cost-saving measures, such as resizing or shutting down virtual machines that are not being used, implementing resource tagging and cost tracking, or optimizing storage usage.
