How do I delete an Azure storage account containing a leased blob?

Question

I was playing with Windows Azure durable virtual machines. In the end, I deleted the virtual machine (successfully) and tried to delete the associated storage account.

Answer 1

In my case, storage could not be deleted because of vmimages.

Use power shell command

get-azurevmimage | Where-Object -Property Category -in -Value "user"

to list all images To delete ALL YOU IMAGES use the following script:

get-azurevmimage | Where-Object -Property Category -in -Value "user" |   
foreach {
        echo "remove $($_.ImageName)"
        Remove-AzureVMImage –ImageName $($_.ImageName)
        }
