In azure blob storage, the folder is virtual and it's part of the blob name. So you cannot directly delete the folder.

If you want to delete the folder, first you should delete all the blobs in that folder. Then the folder will deleted as well.

Or you can use Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, which is similar to azure blob storage, and it does support folder-delete operation.
