Pure offload Space in Azure Blob Storage

Question

We are trying to validate that the Azure Blob storage space that Azure shows we have is actually the same amount of space that our onsite Pure shows that it has sent to Azure. Currently we believe we should only have 89TB of data in Azure Blob Storage but Azure shows we have around 181TB. We are needing some help to figure why the totals do not match.

@Tracy Johnson Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, thank you for posting your here!!

Please check if you have enabled blob soft delete feature on the Storage account from Azure Portal under data protection as from the Metrics from Azure Portal it won't include the blob soft deleted capacity only active blobs capacity is shown.

Please try to calculate the size of a Blob storage container – via Storage explorer

1. Sign-in to azure storage explorer using any of the approach mentioned here  - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vs-azure-tools-storage-manage-with-storage-explorer?tabs=wind...
2. Select the storage of your interest.
3. Select the container.
4. Click “Folder Statistics” button.

Hope this helps!
