Description

The Remove-AzStorageBlob cmdlet removes the specified blob from a storage account in Azure.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a storage blob by name

PowerShell 
Remove-AzStorageBlob -Container "ContainerName" -Blob "BlobName"

This command removes a blob identified by its name.

Example 2: Remove a storage blob using the pipeline

PowerShell 
Get-AzStorageBlob -Container "ContainerName" -Blob "BlobName" | Remove-AzStorageBlob

This command uses the pipeline.

Example 3: Remove storage blobs using the pipeline

PowerShell 
Get-AzStorageContainer -Container container* | Remove-AzStorageBlob -Blob "BlobName"

This command uses the asterisk (*) wildcard character and the pipeline to retrieve the blob or blobs and then removes them.

Example 4: Remove a single blob version

PowerShell 
Remove-AzStorageBlob -Container "containername" -Blob blob2 -VersionId "2020-07-03T16:19:16.2883167Z"

This command removes a single blobs verion with VersionId.

Example 5: Remove a single blob snapshot

PowerShell 
Remove-AzStorageBlob -Container "containername" -Blob blob1 -SnapshotTime "2020-07-06T06:56:06.8588431Z"

This command removes a single blobs snapshot with SnapshotTime.

Parameters

-Blob

Specifies the name of the blob you want to remove.

Type:String
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-BlobBaseClient

BlobBaseClient Object

Type:BlobBaseClient
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ClientTimeoutPerRequest

Specifies the client-side time-out interval, in seconds, for one service request. If the previous call fails in the specified interval, this cmdlet retries the request. If this cmdlet does not receive a successful response before the interval elapses, this cmdlet returns an error.

Type:Nullable<T>[Int32]
Aliases:ClientTimeoutPerRequestInSeconds
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CloudBlob

Specifies a cloud blob. To obtain a CloudBlob object, use the Get-AzStorageBlob cmdlet.

Type:CloudBlob
Aliases:ICloudBlob
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CloudBlobContainer

Specifies a CloudBlobContainer object from the Azure Storage Client library. You can use the Get-AzStorageContainer cmdlet to get it.

Type:CloudBlobContainer
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ConcurrentTaskCount

Specifies the maximum concurrent network calls. You can use this parameter to limit the concurrency to throttle local CPU and bandwidth usage by specifying the maximum number of concurrent network calls.
