    This was immensely helpful! I had been trying to upload a VHD and it kept telling me the storage container was not found. Turns out, an inactive canceled subscription was set as the default, not my pay-as-you-go subscription. I tried many troubleshooting steps for about a day and was unable to get anywhere until I found this blog. I SURE WISH Azure would automatically default the active subscription and not a canceled one.
