Hi,
That is brilliant. I am actually looking for similar kind of Powershell script or Logic apps logic which can delete files from specific folder of a Azure Storage account file share after XX amount of days.
Can you help with that pleaase?

For that I would look at using this cool newish feature. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-lifecycle-management-concepts?tabs=azure-portal

Hi Richard Hooper.
How can we manage when we have more than 5000 blobs to be deleted?
I saw there is a limitation up to 5000 per execution.

Hi everything worked fine except for the files which are leased. To test the logic, I needed to break the lease before running it.
Is there any way to do it before deleting the file?

thanks

In reply to Pixel Robots.. The filter itself , it is not getting the proper data in LogicaApps. using " @less(item()?['LastModified'], addDays(utcNow(), -31))" , it was able to fetch only 2 records. Actually there were 29. I have written Powershell script which will cleanup but want to automate in Azure.

In reply to Naga. Are you able to show your logic app settings and the details of the files?

I tried this but the files are not deleting with my criteria. I can see the files with my Powershell script and storage explorer. Any pointers how to validate whether i am getting output.

Brilliant! A guide to exactly what I am trying to do. I thought I’d have to piece things together between several articles, Stack Overflow questions, and documentation. Thanks for the super clear instructions and screenshots!
