Manage Files in Storage Account Blob Containers

Question

Manage Files in Storage Account Blob Containers

PeterP1550 80

There are a lot of files being dynamically generated at the storage account's Blob Containers level outside of the $logs blob. They look like log files. How do you either stop it or manage it? They're older than the default 7 days files retention.

@PeterP1550 - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Assuming your storage account's type is either General Purpose v2 (GPv2) or Blob Storage, you actually don't have to do anything by yourself. Azure Storage can do this for you.

You'll use Blob Lifecycle Management and define a policy there to delete blobs if they are older than 30 days and Azure Storage will take care of deletion for you.

StorageLifeCycle

For more details, refer to Configure a lifecycle management policy.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Thank you but the files are at the Blob Containers level outside of the $logs blob. Your demo looks like it's inside the $logs blob.

@PeterP1550 - Yes, you can pass the path on whichever the folder which you want to delete after 7 days. Example: You can pass the path as mytestcontainer/foldername

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
