How to change name of the storage account?

Answer 1

You cannot. In general, Azure resources do not support changing their names.

You'd need to create a new storage account and copy the content to it

@Got Transport Ltd, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know you want to change name of storage account.

Based on my research, we cannot change name of storage after it was created. However, if you need to use a different name for your Storage Account, you will typically need to create a new account with the desired name, and then move the data and any associated configurations to the new account.

Here's a general procedure you could follow:

Start by creating a new Storage Account in the Azure Portal with the desired name.

Then use Azure Storage Explorer, AzCopy, or any other tool you prefer to copy the data from the old Storage Account to the new one.

If you have any applications or services that are referencing the old Storage Account, you will need to update those references to point to the new Storage Account.

Once you've confirmed that everything has been moved successfully and is working as expected, you can delete the old Storage Account

Hope it will help.
