Fix: unable to delete an Azure Storage Container due to a lease. 20th of October. In order to delete or otherwise update the Image so you can remove the Container. Interacting with Azure Web Apps Virtual File System using PowerShell and the Kudu API. The need to remove files from tempdb probably doesn't come up frequently, but due to the nature of tempdb, it's not always an easy thing to do. Cannot move all contents of file “logicalname” to other places to complete the emptyfile operation. I had to remove one file because of contention issues ( more files than cpu’s).
I have several programs that when I go to security there is a Account Unknown and when I try to remove Account Unknown I get this message You can't remove Account Unknown(S-1.) because this object is inheriting perssions from its parent. To removeAccount Unknown(S-1.) you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for inheriting permissions, and then try removing Account Unknown(S-1.) again. I have tried the edit and advance features under security withoutsuccess. Why don't I have control over the security permissions? Found a solution to this problem.Go to the parent folder of the folder that contains files with this issue of unknown account:1.
Right click on the PARENT folder and click on Properties.2. On the Security Tab go to Advanced options (bottom of the windows)3.
On the new window click on Change Permissions button at the bottom.4. Select the Users group (NOT THE AUTHENTICATED USERS, just Users)5. Check the 'Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object'6. Click on OK or Apply buttons and done, issue fixed.Hope this helps someone else having this issue, to me it happened after reinstalling win 7 on the same machine and keeping my images on another partition so it was untouched by the new installation, so the old user account was still on the permissions of thefiles.

UPDATE: There are currently no scenarios where manually breaking the lease via script or CloudXplorer, etc. Then you should try the code method: Dim sourceBlobClient As New CloudBlobClient ( ', New StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey ( 'YOURBLOBACCT', 'YOURACCTKEY' )) Dim sourceContainer As CloudBlobContainer = sourceBlobClient. GetContainerReference ( 'vhds' ) Dim sourceBlob As CloudBlob = sourceContainer. GetBlobReference ( 'YOURSTUCKBLOBNAME' ) Dim breakTime As TimeSpan = New TimeSpan ( 0, 0, 1 )sourceBlob.
BreakLease ( breakTime )You do have a storage account URI. Replace 'YOURBLOBACCT' above with your storage account name. Add it again with the key on the same line. Provide your stuck blob name (the name of the stuck VHD).
The breaklease method is available from storage client1.7.1 and newer.If you are a C# person, I think earlier in the posts there is a C# example of this code sample.Good luck! I ran the PS script and it tells me that the VHD file stored in Blob is tied to a OS Image with the name ' (No name). I can not determine how to delete the VHD based in the fact that somehow the blob lease is tied to an OS image with no name.same thing is happening to me.

Same error for me, but following the instruction in this post fixed my issue. Deleting a VM will not delete the disk attached to it.
You need to go the the 'DISKS' tab in the Virtual Machine area and delete those as well.That is the normal fix, however at least in my case, this happened, I believe, after I had deleted the disk from the section in Virtual Machine management (There isn't a disk in VM management for it anymore). The issue seems to be that the disks are leasedto the default azure images, which we can't delete our self. I have been using the.Net API as I got the same error on the PowerShell script.I'm using 1.7.1 but I think the below code is exactly the same for 1.7.0.I'm working on a simple tool that will kill these Leases. I have also seen stuck Disks that cannot be removed, other than using PowerShell.I have a simple tool that does this that I hope to post soon. If you want it now, just email me.

Thomas 8 Year BizTalk Server MVP http://www.BizTalkGurus.com. MS Azure Support just had me attempt to use myAzureStorage BlobBrowser at; however, it also gave me the same exception as the Preview UI. I did get a full stack trace this timejust for fun, which I'll paste below.I like your code. I'll give that a shot and see what happens - thanks.LukeServer Error in '/' Application.The remote server returned an error: (412) There is currently a lease on the blob and no lease ID was specified in the request.Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (412) There is currently a lease on the blob and no lease ID was specified in the request.Source Error:An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request.
Stephen, I'm officially naming you in this thread as 'THE MAN!' Stephen's code works.
