The Delete Container from Azure Storage step deletes an Azure Blob container associated with a specific Storage account. Deleting a container from Azure Blob Storage removes the container and all of its contents (blobs) permanently. This can be useful when a container is no longer needed to free up storage space or to delete sensitive or outdated data.
Prerequisites
This step requires the Azure module to be installed before it will be available in the toolbox. In addition, the step will require the connection string for an Azure Storage account that has access to the container.
