Error deleting from Azure Cloud Table - ResourceNotFound

Question

I\'m having an intermittent problem deleting objects from an azure table. It only affects about 1% of my attempts, and if the same call is made again later then it works fin

By default MergeOption.AppendOnly is used by your tableServiceContext.MergeOption, this means that Azure Table Storage will be tracking your table items. You should detach the item before deleting it, like this:

tableServiceContext.Detach(messageUnread);
tableServiceContext.AttachTo(messageTableName, messageUnread, "*");
tableServiceContext.DeleteObject(messageUnread);
tableServiceContext.SaveChangesWithRetries();

This should get rid of any item tracking issues.
