Delete Entities from Azure Storage Tables

Delete a Single Entity (.NET)

This example shows how to delete a single entity using the Azure.Data.Tables SDK.

using Azure;
using Azure.Data.Tables;

// Replace with your actual connection string and table name
string connectionString = "YOUR_AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING";
string tableName = "MyTable";
string partitionKey = "partition1";
string rowKey = "row1";

TableClient tableClient = new TableClient(connectionString, tableName);

// Delete the entity
try
{
    tableClient.DeleteEntity(partitionKey, rowKey);
    Console.WriteLine($"Entity with PartitionKey='{partitionKey}' and RowKey='{rowKey}' deleted successfully.");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error deleting entity: {ex.Message}");
}

Delete Multiple Entities in a Batch (.NET)

This example demonstrates deleting multiple entities within the same partition using a batch operation.

using Azure;
using Azure.Data.Tables;
using System.Collections.Generic;

// Replace with your actual connection string and table name
string connectionString = "YOUR_AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING";
string tableName = "MyTable";
string partitionKey = "partition1";

TableClient tableClient = new TableClient(connectionString, tableName);

// Entities to delete
var entitiesToDelete = new List<TableTransactionAction>
{
    new TableTransactionAction(TableTransactionActionType.Delete, new { PartitionKey = partitionKey, RowKey = "row1" }),
    new TableTransactionAction(TableTransactionActionType.Delete, new { PartitionKey = partitionKey, RowKey = "row2" }),
    new TableTransactionAction(TableTransactionActionType.Delete, new { PartitionKey = partitionKey, RowKey = "row3" })
};

try
{
    Response<IReadOnlyList<Response>> response = await tableClient.SubmitTransactionAsync(entitiesToDelete);
    Console.WriteLine("Batch delete operation submitted successfully.");
    // You can further inspect 'response' for details on each operation
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error submitting batch delete: {ex.Message}");
}
