How to disable the Azure storage account container enable soft delete for blobs

Question

I have a storage account in the data protection area where the 'Enable soft delete for Blob' option is greyed out. I'm a Global Administrator and Storage File Data Privilege Contributor, but I don’t know why it’s greyed out. Do you have any suggestions for this issue?

Answer 1

Azure blob backup policy was running, and the backup policy is locked the option, that is why greyed out. Fixed issue.
