Hi, According to Azure documentation, "Blobs are subject to an early deletion penalty if they are deleted or moved to a different tier before the minimum number of days required by the tier have transpired"

My query is I have a Storage account that is set to cool tier during creation. I have created an Azure file share in that storage account. Does the Azure blob early deletion penalty only apply to Blob Storage or it applies to Azure files also?

    Hi,

    That blob functionality only applies to blobs, it is not available in file shares.
