Azure CLI hangs when deleting blobs

I'm using the Azure CLI to delete multiple blobs (in this case there's only 3 to delete), by specifying a pattern:

az storage blob delete-batch --connection-string myAzureBlobConnectionString -s my-container --pattern clients/client_name/*

This hangs and sees to get stuck in some kind of loop, I've tried adding --debug onto the end and it appears to be entering a never ending cycle of requests:

It loops these requests over and over. Running an az storage list with a prefix returns the 3 files immediately.

Any ideas?

I think there is a minor error in your cli code: the container name is incorrect(means it does not have the path clients/client_name).

In your cli code, the container name is my-container. But in the debug info, I can see the container name is mycontainer which is not consistent with the name in your cli code.

Please make sure you specify the correct container name in your cli code, and which does contain the path clients/client_name.

I test the code at my side with a container, which does not have the path clients/client_name, and the same error with you. But if test with a container which has the path clients/client_name, then it deletes all the blobs inside it.

Otherwise, you should check cli version with az --version, the latest version is 2.0.69
