DeleteBlob Method
Deletes a blob.
Syntax
[VB.NET] Public Sub DeleteBlob(ByVal blobName As String, ByVal deleteBlobAction As Integer)
[C#] public void DeleteBlob(string blobName, int deleteBlobAction);
Remarks
This method will delete the blob specified by blobName that is stored within the container specified by ContainerName.
deleteBlobAction specifies
| 0 (BlobAndSnapshots) | Delete the base blob and all of its snapshots (if any exist). Required if the blob has associated snapshots. |
| 1 (SnapshotsOnly) | Delete only the blob's snapshots and not the blob itself. Required if the blob has associated snapshots. |
| 2 (Unspecified) | Delete only the specified blob that does not have any associated snapshots. To delete a specific snapshot, BlobSnapshot can be set prior to calling DeleteBlob. |
Note if BlobSnapshot is specified, deleteBlobAction will be ignored. Thus only the specified snapshot will be deleted (the base blob and any other associated snapshots will not be deleted).
If the blob has an active lease, LeaseId must be specified prior to calling DeleteBlob.
