Hi @marc-hb this is a duplicate issue to #1931, we are currently working on it. I will close this issue in the meantime.

Thanks @tasherif-msft, it's not obvious that it is a duplicate because #1931 is about downloading and this one is about deleting. Are you saying these two features share the same, relevant code?

• No error reported downloading non-existent blob #1931

Hi @marc-hb it falls within the same category (don't throw if a targeted file does not exist)
