Delete multiple blobs
See original GitHub issueIIUC, az storage blob delete will delete just one blob.
Similar to #998, it would be nice to be able to delete a whole
“directory”. It looks like the only way to do that currently is to get
a list of all blobs using --prefix then iterate over each one of them,
which would overall be extremely slow compared to a single
delete-batch.

@williexu – thanks, I’ll follow it (it’s very relevant for me, since I do have these long deletion sequences that are very slow).
@troydai, I don’t know what it actually does, but I think that a lot of speedup can happen if you keep the connection alive – and it seems to me that this could lead to the speedup that happens when deleting a subtree in the storage explorer. Assuming that most of the ~2 second per deletion via the cli is spent on establishing a connection, this would be the boost that will make it a practical operation.
