HI All, i generate a ARM template for azure storage account- in JSON i didn't find any $log container, but after deployment i found a $log container. I Try to delete this container $log but not able to delete. message- i don't have permission. i try to found in my source storage people are using data bricks and they have this folder $log. but in my target system i don't need this $log. please help so how can we remove this $log in ARM template or manually we can delete this

@manishverma-7371 All logs are stored in block blobs in a container named $logs, which is automatically created when Storage Analytics is enabled for a storage account. The $logs container is located in the blob namespace of the storage account, for example: http://<accountname>.blob.core.windows.net/$logs. This container cannot be deleted once Storage Analytics has been enabled, though its contents can be deleted. If you use your storage-browsing tool to navigate to the container directly, you will see all the blobs that contain your logging data. The $logs container is not displayed when a container listing operation is performed, such as the List Containers operation. It must be accessed directly. For example, you can use the List Blobs operation to access the blobs in the $logs container. You can delete through Azure Storage Explorer Hope this helps! Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

@manishverma-7371Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
Have a enabled diagnostic setting in your other Storage account which you are referring to?
Note: $logs won't be visible until it's been enabled
For more information: Refer to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-analytics-logging?tabs=dotnet
