'Removed a reference to a Terraform module - now I can't destroy

I've removed a reference to a Terraform module, and I was hoping TF would then delete that resource - but as it can no longer find the module (its in GIT) - it doesn't know how to remove it.

Suggestions?

Given this is an automated process - I'd just expect TF to cope with it, TF Destory isn't really an option

Provider configuration not present
│ 
│ To work with module.cosmos_account.azurerm_cosmosdb_account.db (orphan) its
│ original provider configuration at
│ module.cosmos_account.provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm"]
│ is required, but it has been removed. This occurs when a provider
│ configuration is removed while objects created by that provider still exist
│ in the state. Re-add the provider configuration to destroy
│ module.cosmos_account.azurerm_cosmosdb_account.db (orphan), after which you
│ can remove the provider configuration again.

My reference looks like so:

module "cosmos_database" {
  source = "git::[email protected]:v3/../../azure-cosmossql_database"
  ...
  ...
}
