Use Case

The following activity illustrates on how we can use the delete container activity
from a list of containers stored in the Azure blob storage. Here we are going to
delete the container "azuretest1" from the blob storage.

Steps to execute the bot

1.      Drag and drop an azure scope activity to the workflow.

2.      Enter the account name and account key.

3.      Drag and drop the delete container activity within the Azure scope.

4.      Click on the activity.

5.      Enter a name for the container to be deleted within double quotes. Here it is
“Azuretest1.”

6.      Enter the declared variable in the output box of the output segment. Here it
is Deleted.

7.      Drag and drop a writelog activity below the azure scope.

8.      Enter the above declared variable in the input string of the write log activity
and add.ToString to it as the writelog accepts only string values.
