Hi,

I have block blobs saved inside a container organised into different directories. Currently, if I have to delete all blobs inside a directory I have to first list all the blobs with prefix path and then delete all blobs one by one. Are there any plans to introduce a feature similar to list by prefix to delete by prefix?

    One workaround is to use Storage explorer, filter the files with prefix and select all, delete.

    If this delete activity has to be scheduled, then ADF can be used.

    If you want this feature to be implemented, you may post the feedback here which is monitored by product team
