Enable container soft delete - Hierarchical namespace

I want to enable soft delete feature for my storage account which has hierarchical namespace enabled. As per the screenshot, the feature is disabled with a note "You must opt-in on a per-subscription basis to utilize container soft delete", whereas the link takes to documentation which provides a Powershell/Azure CLI command to register for this feature. Is there a way we can raise it via Azure Portal. Also can you please clarify on the Pricing part, after enabling this feature will the final cost get multiplied 2 - as per documentation "Data in soft deleted containers is billed at the same rate as active data"*

Hi @vijie-3055,

Thanks for the ask and using Microsoft Q&A forum.

  1. Is there a way we can raise it via Azure Portal?


    No, unfortunately it is not possible via Azure Portal at this time. To enroll in the preview for container soft delete, you will have to use PowerShell or Azure CLI to submit a request to register the feature with your subscription. After your request is approved, you can enable container soft delete with any new or existing general-purpose v2, Blob storage, or premium block blob storage accounts.


  2. Also can you please clarify on the Pricing part, after enabling this feature will the final cost get multiplied 2 - as per documentation "Data in soft deleted containers is billed at the same rate as active data"* ?


    No, the cost will not be multiplied. To be clear, suppose if you have have data in 3 containers and you have soft deleted one of the container. Even though one of the container is soft deleted, you will be charged for that container as same rate as active data. That means, in total you will be charged for the data in 2 active containers plus the 1 soft deleted container data.


Hope this clarifies.
