I want to delete files from Azure Blob Storage after X number of days automatically. I don't want to create a Azure function for this. I want to do this programmatically and not through policy.

At the time of uploading the file, I want to set a rule/policy programmatically instructing to delete the files after X number of days.

I also tried setting meta data (RetensionDays) but it did not helped.

You don't want to use Lifecycle Management Policies - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-lifecycle-management-concepts? – Gaurav Mantri Aug 07 '23 at 14:10
@GauravMantri: Are you asking me why I don't want to use the policies? or suggesting that i should look into policies ? – OpenStack Aug 07 '23 at 16:35
he's suggesting you should use policies which will do this for you automatically – Thiago Custodio Aug 07 '23 at 20:49
