Is there any feature in the Azure portal that can auto-remove blob storage containers after the container is created a week?

Question

Hi,

I have a task must perform.
Every transaction will create a container to store each transaction information.
But after the transaction (the container) is created after a week, it requires to remove it.
If the azure portal will have an automatic function to perform container auto-remove after the container is created a week?

@yan Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Based on your scenario you can use lifecycle management, Azure Blob Storage has a feature of lifecycle management. Where you can manage the Azure Blob storage lifecycle (Azure Storage lifecycle management offers a rule-based policy that you can use to transition blob data to the appropriate access tiers or to expire data at the end of the data lifecycle. Delete blobs, blob versions, and blob snapshots at the end of their lifecycles.)

Define a policy there to delete blobs if they are older than X days and Azure Storage will take care of deletion for you.

There is also GitHub information on Automatically delete blobs after a given time

For more information and other option , please refer here

• Please see the Tasks option under Automation section(For specific container).
