Cannot delete an empty Storage Account on Azure RM
I had the same problem that went on for several days. I was eventually able to resolve the problem by doing the following:
- Create a new VM (in my case an Ubuntu VM with SSD) in the same Resource Group as the problematic Storage Account
- Add the drive to the same Resource Group, same region, etc
- Delete the new VM, then delete the VHD container for the VM in the problematic Storage Account
- Remove the problematic Storage Account
