How to disable storage analytics

Question

I am trying to delete $logs container from storage account but can't able to proceed through portal or explorer and getting below error.

'Failed to delete 1 out of 1 container(s):
$logs: ContainerOperationFailure: The account being accessed does not have sufficient permissions to execute this operation.'
I have checked twice, there is no lock, policy defined on resources.

I switch off the diagnostics settings status too of the storage account, but still cant able to delete $logs container. Although successfully able to delete other containers created in the same storage account.

Also, I have created new storage account in another resource group , but there is no $logs container exist in that new account. Is there any settings need to check at resource group level. Please clarify.

Answer 1

As per the documentation -

All logs are stored in block blobs in a container named $logs, which is automatically created when Storage Analytics is enabled for a storage account. The $logs container is located in the blob namespace of the storage account, for example: http://<accountname>.blob.core.windows.net/$logs. This container cannot be deleted once Storage Analytics has been enabled, though its contents can be deleted.
