azure - Set LifeCycle Management Rule on all blobs in a container

Question

I am trying to set a rule which will delete all blobs in a container if they have not been modified for x number of days. I am following this link

The issue is, I am not able to find a rule which will work for all blobs in a specific container. I tried using container/ and container/* but to no effect.

Can someone guide how to achieve this? Thanks

If you want to delete all blobs in a container, then in the policy -> Filter set, just specify the container name only. For example, if the container name is container1, just set the Filter set as below:

Please also note that it may take effect after 24 hours. I did this settings before, and it worked well.
