Hi mrg5

Yes, you can delete the Data Box resource in Azure after the data copy is complete.

Once the copy job is marked as Completed, you can indeed delete the Data Box resource in Azure, provided you have verified that the migration was successful. It's always a good idea to double-check the Azure portal to ensure that your data is in the expected storage account before deletion.

Just keep in mind that if there were any errors during the copy process, or if you have any ongoing jobs, you might want to address those first.

1. Check Job Status: Make sure the job status shows as Completed with no errors.
2. Verify Data Integrity: If needed, verify the uploaded data.
3. Delete Resource: If everything looks good, you can go ahead and delete the Data Box resource from your Azure portal.
