It is not possible to disable Purge Protection
It is as designed, purge protection is irreversible. Otherwise hacker would be able to delete your key vault without option to recover.
Ref: https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/issues/8075
Also make note that soft delete will be enabled by default starting next year
Breaking Change: The ability to opt out of soft-delete will be deprecated by the end of the year and soft-delete protection will automatically be turned on for all key vaults. Azure Key Vault users and administrators should enable soft-delete on their key vaults immediately.
