How to permantly delete data assets in Azure ML via SDK

Is there a class or method available to delete data assets permantly from Azure ML? You can only archive the data asset, which means the meta data will be deleted, but the actual storage on the blob storage stays active. Sometimes you just want to delete everything because it's useless storage.

By default, when you delete a data asset in Azure ML, it moves the asset to the trash folder. The metadata associated with the asset is removed, but the actual data storage on the blob storage remains active, allowing you to recover the asset if needed.

If you want to permanently delete the data from the blob storage and remove any associated metadata, you'll need to use Azure Storage services directly. You can leverage the Azure Storage SDKs or Azure CLI to delete the data assets stored in the blob storage. The specific method and steps would depend on the programming language you are using and your chosen method of interacting with Azure Storage (SDK, CLI, REST API, etc.).
