I have a blob storage account, enabled with RA-GRS replication, where there are a few millions of files in Hot tier.

I would like to delete most of them except a few 1000s of recent ones.

Is there a cost involved in deleting large number of files which are in Hot tier with RA-GRS replication? If yes, I would like to know what would be the cost structure.

Thanks.

    @Anoop Ramankandath

    Delete operations in the hot tier are free. As noted on the pricing page for Blob Storage. "All other Operations (per 10,000), except Delete, which is free."
