How to remove a storage account from Azure through Azure DevOps

Question

When I run the Remove-AzureRmStorageAccount command in the Azure PowerShell task I get this error:

This is the script I run:

Remove-AzureRmStorageAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroupName" `
    -AccountName "mystorageaccountname"
    -Force

Note that I can create the storage account and the blob container in the same way without errors. This script works without any errors:

if(Get-AzureRmStorageAccountNameAvailability -Name "mystorageaccountname")
{
  New-AzureRmStorageAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroupName" `
    -AccountName "mystorageaccountname" `
    -Location "West Europe" `
    -SkuName "Standard_LRS"

  New-AzureRmStorageContainer `
    -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroupName" `
    -AccountName "mystorageaccountname" `
    -ContainerName "my-blob-container" `
    -PublicAccess "Blob"
}

How do I get the remove to work without errors through the Azure DevOps pipeline?

Answer 1

that happens because its asking to confirm deletion ( ##[error]Windows PowerShell is in NonInteractive mode. Read and Prompt functionality is not available ), you are missing: `.

Remove-AzureRmStorageAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroupName" `
    -AccountName "mystorageaccountname" ` <<<<< here
    -Force

just retested it, it works without prompts if you supply -Force
