How to Delete Directory from Azure Storage Account?

Hi All,
Currently i am working on Microsoft Windows Azure (SaaS - Application).
I am facing a problem with the AzureStorage.
I want to delete a whole directory from the Azure Storage Account.
For Example : I want to delete following Directory(14).
https://azurestorage.blob.core.windows.net/blobname/Images/14
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rakesh,
We have not heard you in days. Have you managed to write the code to delete a blob directory?
If not, I'd like to share my code for your reference:
    public void RemoveBlobDirectory()
        string containerName = "blobname";
        string directoryName = "blobname/Images/14/";
        var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("UseDevelopmentStorage=true");
        var blobStorage = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
        // Ensure the container is exist.
        var blobContainer = blobStorage.GetContainerReference(containerName);
        blobContainer.CreateIfNotExist();
        foreach (IListBlobItem item in blobStorage.ListBlobsWithPrefix(directoryName))
            if (item.GetType() == typeof(CloudBlob) || item.GetType().BaseType == typeof(CloudBlob))
                ((CloudBlob)item).DeleteIfExists();
Please note that the ListBlobsWithPrefix method will scan through all blob entities in order to search the result. So it will potentially have low performance when you have large number of blobs in you storage account.
Thanks,
Wengchao Zeng

How to complete delete everything from my icloud account.

How to complete delete everything from my icloud account. Like brand new.

First go to Settings>iCloud on your device and confirm that everything is turned to Off, and that you are not syncing any data with iCloud before proceeding. (If you are, when you delete the data from iCloud it will also be deleted from your device and it will be lost.) When you turn these off, you will be given the option to keep the data on your device.
To delete your contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open your calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
To delete your my photo stream photos, open the album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap the trash icon. If you want to keep a copy of them on your device, save them to your camera roll first.

How do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

how do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

Are you wanting to delete it all or just certain tracks and content?
If it's the latter...
How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab. You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to theSummary tab over to the right. Look for the Music tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device. If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove). Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

Windows Azure Storage Account Location change

Hi Experts,
I have deployed my Web site on Windows azure. I have created Windows Azure Storage Account. By mistakely i have set the location wrong. How can we change the location of Windows storage account?
Thanks!

Hello CRM Inn,
I am sorry to know that you have chosen an incorrect location and would like to change the location for your storage account. Unfortunately, there is no option available to change the storage location for an existing storage account.
Your only option would be to create a new storage account, migrate data to the new storage account and delete the existing one. You can refer to this article that will give you information on migrating data from one account to another:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/06/12/introducing-asynchronous-cross-account-copy-blob.aspx
I also suggest that you create affinity groups. By creating affinity groups you can be sure that all your related services are under the same data center. You can refer to this article to learn about Affinity groups:

HT1146 I can not delete messages from my gmail account - help please

My deleted messages from my gmail account keep coming back. How can I permanently delete them?

Hello,
Certain Thunderbird problems can be solved by peforming a ''Clean Reinstall''. This means you remove Thunderbird's Program Files then reinstall Thunderbird. Please follow these steps:
#Download the latest version of Thunderbird from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download is complete, close all Thunderbird windows (Click Exit/Quit from the menu button on the right).
#*'''Windows:'''
#** C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#** C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Thunderbird from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Thunderbird with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Thunderbird on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird Download Page], simply remove the folder ''thunderbird'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Thunderbird:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to open Thunderbird after clicking the Finish button.
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Thunderbird's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Thunderbird data, including but not limited to, extensions,emails, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Is there any way to automate purging Application Logging in azure storage account tables

Rohit Pasrija

hi Rohit,
If you want to delete old data automatically, I think you need develop this feature by yourself. You could code the logic methods on your project, and set a timer to execute the methods to delete old data. Please refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13602629/is-it-possible-to-acces-a-table-storage-in-azure-from-an-azure-web-site
), you could operate table storage data using azure sdk or REST API.
Please try it.

Will
