Whats the difference between CloudDrive.Delete() and CloudBlobContainer.Delete() in Azure

Question

CloudDrive is a Blob.

Either way, files are gone. So whats the difference?

Answer 1

When you delete a CloudDrive you are actually deleting the page blob in a (blob) container. Calling CloudBlobContainer.Delete deletes the blob container (together with all the blobs in that container), and calling this method might delete more files than you would want to delete.
