Hi,

I have a container in an Azure storage account that has directories and subdirectories. I would like to delete blobs that are older than 2 days but the rule does not seem to work. The rule is more than 48 hours old but still does not seem to do anything.

My directory structure is as below

twn(container)/Inventory/Archive/blobs

Please refer to the screenshots below for the rule configurations.

    Hi Sahan,

    It appears you have a typo in your Blob prefix. The container is named tnw whereas your prefix starts with twn. Please see comparison of your screenshots below:
