I am new in Azure working on BLOB Storage, I want to SET RETENTION Period manually so that I can delete my archived data once retention period is over. Please suggest me any link or way which could help me. Please suggest how I will be able to code in my portal to set it.

Thanks in advance

IT IS NOW SUPPORTED. You can setup a retention policy(docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/…) - RAM

Note the approach I mention is not the direct approach of setting the retention duration per blob but a higher level policy which can affect the whole storage account or specific containers or specific blobs which match some filtration criteria. As of March 2021, I haven't yet found a way to set the retention period o a per blob basis via the Azure API.

You can try the following PowerShell script to remove Old Azure Storage Blobs. The below script works for the Classic Storage accounts, you can modify the script for the ARM Storage account.
