Hello Zee,

Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Yes, you can easily delete a file present in a Blob Container including all its contents in Storage Explorer. Otherwise, you will need to fetch a list of everything you wish to delete and run those through a loop to delete. For more programmatic solutions please check this thread.

Folder is virtually created a "file-system" like layered storage, but actually everything in 1 layer, the container in which it is.

There are multiple options you may consider deleting a folder/file from Blob storage container.

• Deleting the blobs inside the folder will delete the folder also. You need to just delete all blobs inside the folder.
• You can use a Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer desktop application to delete a folder from Blob storage container.

Hope this answer helps! please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
