Example:

You can execute the below PowerShell command that can help you to delete the storage container named “azure-webjobs-hosts” that belongs to the storage account “demorg2913f”.

$mynewsARG = "DEMORG2"
$mynewsAName = "demorg2913f"
$mynewsAKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $mynewsARG -AccountName $mynewsAName).Value[0]
$myuctx = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $mynewsAName -StorageAccountKey $mynewsAKey
