Azure Runbook not deleting Files in Fileshare - azure-storage

Question

I am trying to to use Azure Powershell Runbooks to delete files out of the Azure Fileshare. There are no errors returned, but the file is not deleted. The Automation Account has a Run As account setup that is not expired or anything and the script works if I run it from my local machine. Looking for some advise on this.
$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "" -StorageAccountKey ""
$shareName = ""
$directoryPath = ".cloudconsole"
$DirIndex = 0
$day = 1
$startdate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-180)
$endDate = (Get-date).AddDays(-32)
$dirsToList = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[System.Object]
$shareroot = Get-AzureStorageFile -ShareName $shareName -Path $directoryPath -context $ctx
$dirsToList += $shareroot
While ($dirsToList.Count -gt $DirIndex)
{
$dir = $dirsToList[$DirIndex]
$DirIndex ++
$fileListItems = $dir | Get-AzureStorageFile
$dirsListOut = $fileListItems | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "AzureStorageFileDirectory"}
$dirsToList += $dirsListOut
$files = $fileListItems | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "AzureStorageFile"}
foreach($file in $files)
{
$task = $file.CloudFile.FetchAttributesAsync()
$task.Wait()
if ($file.CloudFile.Properties.LastModified -ge $startdate -and $file.CloudFile.Properties.LastModified -ge $endDate )
{
if ($file.CloudFile.Properties.LastModified.day -ne '01' )
{
$file | Remove-AzureStorageFile
}
}
if ($file.CloudFile.Properties.LastModified -lt $startdate)
{
$file | Remove-AzureStorageFile
}
}
}

BoxJumper: As kavyasaraboju-MT referred, below piece of script should help you.
$ctx = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $accountName -StorageAccountKey $key
$shareName = <shareName>
$startdate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-180)
$endDate = (Get-date).AddDays(-32)
$DirIndex = 0
$dirsToList = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[System.Object]
# Get share root Dir
$shareroot = Get-AzStorageFile -ShareName $shareName -Path . -context $ctx
$dirsToList += $shareroot
# List files recursively and remove file older than 14 days
While ($dirsToList.Count -gt $DirIndex)
{
$dir = $dirsToList[$DirIndex]
$DirIndex ++
$fileListItems = $dir | Get-AzStorageFile
$dirsListOut = $fileListItems | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "AzureStorageFileDirectory"}
$dirsToList += $dirsListOut
$files = $fileListItems | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "AzureStorageFile"}
foreach($file in $files)
{
# Fetch Attributes of each file and output
$task = $file.CloudFile.FetchAttributesAsync()
$task.Wait()
# remove file if it's modified between after last 180 days and before last 30 Days
if ($file.CloudFile.Properties.LastModified -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-32) -and $file.CloudFile.Properties.LastModified -ge (Get-Date).AddDays(-180))
{
## print the file LMT
# $file | Select #{ Name = "Uri"; Expression = { $_.CloudFile.SnapshotQualifiedUri} }, #{ Name = "LastModified"; Expression = { $_.CloudFile.Properties.LastModified } }
# remove file
$file | Remove-AzStorageFile
}
}
#Debug log
# Write-Host $DirIndex $dirsToList.Length $dir.CloudFileDirectory.SnapshotQualifiedUri.ToString()
}
