What is the way to delete unused managed disks in Azure? I believe many inexperienced people don't know what to do about it. Therefore, this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

Azure is relatively expensive compared to other cloud vendors, so how to optimize the cost is what we need to consider. Today we focus on the most important item in the optimization of storage cost-there is an unused virtual hard disk (VHD) in the storage account.

Comparison of three inspection methods:

Advantages and disadvantages of Azure PortialWeb Console direct operation, no need to install any software, but need a check, waste of time Azure Storage Explore configuration operation is simple, batch operation, but need to download and install Azure Storage Explore software PowerShell batch operation, do not need to install any software, but need to configure Powershell environment first

Method 1: Azure Portial

Enter the resource group, find the resource group that needs to be checked, and click in

In the deleted items, select "disk"

Click on each disk in turn to view the status

If Unsttached proves that the disk is not in use in status, it can be cleaned; if it is attached, it proves that the disk is mounted to VM and is in use.

Method 2: Azure Storage Explore

Download and install Azure Storage Explore

Https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/features/storage-explorer/

Configure Azure Storage Explore

Enter the user name and password of the Azure account (this user needs to have permission to delete DISK)

Click Apply

Click as shown in the image to find the disk list, and you can view the list and status of all disks under a resource group. If the status is Unsttached, you can clean up the disk. If it is attached, it proves that the disk is mounted to VM and is in use.

Method 3: Powershell

Open Powershell as an administrator and enter the following command to log in to Azure

Login-azurermaccount-EnvironmentName AzureChinaCloud

Get the disk list of the current account

$MVHDS = Get-AzureRmDisk

Get a list of unused disks

$MVHD = $MVHDS | Where {$_ .ManagedBy-eq $null}

Note: if it is an unused disk, the ManagedBy field is blank

Delete unused disks

$MVHD | Remove-AzureRmDisk
