Remarks
Use the Delete Storage Account operation to delete a storage account by name. Data stored in a deleted storage account cannot be recovered, and storage account names that have been deleted can be adopted by other users.
Before you delete a storage account, you must first delete all OS Images, VM Images, and disks that are located in the account. Asynchronous operations are used to delete artifacts from a storage account. You can use the Get Operation Status operation to make sure that the operations are finished before you try to delete the storage account. It may take up to 15 minutes for all operations to finish before the storage account can be deleted.
