Azure Table Storage expiration

Question

Is there any way to delete items from Azure Table storage without creating a worker to delete based on timestamp ? I want some solution like in Azure cache service where we can specify time span for the message.

Answer 1

Table Storage is a durable store, and row entities don't have an expiration date. A committed write stays in storage until you delete it. You'd need some type of scheduled task to periodically clean out data based on timestamp or other metadata.

Answer 2

You can create a new table every week for example and delete n-2 old tables. And always write to the nth table
