I have a container called container1 in my Storage Account storageaccount1, with the following files:
blobs/tt-aa-rr/data/0/2016/01/03/02/01/20.txt
blobs/tt-aa-rr/data/0/2016/01/03/02/02/12.txt
blobs/tt-aa-rr/data/0/2016/01/03/02/03/13.txt
blobs/tt-aa-rr/data/0/2016/01/03/03/01/10.txt
I would like to delete the first 3, for that I use the following command:
az storage blob delete-batch --source container1 --account-key XXX --account-name storageaccount1 --pattern 'blobs/tt-aa-rr/data/0/2016/01/03/02/*' --debug
The files are not deleted and I see the following log:
urllib3.connectionpool : Starting new HTTPS connection (1): storageaccount1.blob.core.windows.net:443
urllib3.connectionpool : https://storageaccount1.blob.core.windows.net:443 "GET /container1?restype=container&comp=list HTTP/1.1" 200 None
What is wrong with my pattern?
If I try to delete file by file it works.
As stated in comments, you are not able to apply patterns to subfolders, only first level folders, as documented here. But if you want, you can easily write a script to list the blobs in your container, using the prefix to filter them az storage blob list and then apply the delete for each of the result blobs.
