Give Examples delete-batch

[rogerywoo]

It would help if actual examples were provided. For source should you include https. Should it be:
az storage file <command> -- source https://<your_account_name1>.blob.core.windows.net/<your_container_name1>/<your_sub_directory_at_blob1> or something else?

I have tried various commands to delete a number of files without success. Here are some examples I tried:

az storage file delete-batch --source https://.blob.core.windows.net/ --account-key --pattern xxx_2015 --dryrun

az storage file delete-batch --source .blob.core.windows.net/ --account-key --pattern xxx_2015 --dryrun

az storage file delete-batch --source blob.core.windows.net/ --account-name --account-key --pattern xxx_2015 --dryrun

Never mind. I figured it out. I should have used az storage blog delete-batch. Also, for the pattern it should have been xxx_2015*. You need an asterisk.

This command worked for me,

az storage file delete-batch --account-name [StorageAccountName] --source [ShareName] --pattern [FilePattern]

In my case, the pattern I passed was "app-2019*". I had a huge collection of log file output from Spark that I wanted to purge from Azure Files.

what was weird was that this command deleted all the FILES in the folders, but did not delete the folders themselves. Still trying to figure out how to delete the actual folders.
