@Ayush Kumar Jha Welocme to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

After the retirement date of February 29th, 2024, you will no longer be able to access your data in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 (ADLS Gen1). All resources associated with ADLS Gen1, including data and services, will become inaccessible following this date.

To avoid any disruption, it is highly recommended to migrate your data to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS Gen2) before the retirement date. If you need assistance with the migration process or have any questions, feel free to ask!

Migrate Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) from Gen1 to Gen2 by using the Azure Portal

Migration Tools:

• Azure Portal: You can use the Azure Portal to migrate your data. This method is straightforward and involves using the built-in migration tool in the portal1.
• AzCopy: This is a command-line tool that allows you to copy data to and from Azure Blob Storage, which is the underlying storage for ADLS Gen22.
• Azure Data Factory (ADF): ADF can be used to orchestrate and automate the data migration process. It provides a more flexible and scalable solution for large datasets.
