Hi,

I think there is a soft delete on the storage accounts, and it can sometimes take a few minutes for the name to be free again. Keep trying every few munites, you should see it available again.

Regards,

Alan

Hi,

There's always the change, however small it may be, that someone else took your storage account name. If that's what happened you could wait a long time. ;-)

I can imagine someone wanting to talk about ranks or ranking choosing this name also when 'ranktalk' is already taken. I take it, you tried 'ranktalk' initially as well and when you found out it was taken, you added the '1' behind it.

Thank you reply.

Think the rules have been brought back to the storage account name.

You might want to obfuscate the storage account by using an unusual storage name - and perhaps using CNAME to get one of your choice. By coincidence, here is a recent post showing how to do this.
