Hi Mythical Coders,

To create container in blob storage you can use Create() or CreateIfNotExists() method of the blobclient class. 

// Create a blob container.
    CloudBlobContainer container = BlobClient.GetContainerReference(containerName);
    container.Create();
    Console.WriteLine("Container Created Successfully..");

To delete container in blob storage you can use delete() method of the blobclient class.  But be sure to check the container is available before deleting the container otherwise it will though the exception saying that resource not found.

CloudBlobContainer container =
            BlobClient.GetContainerReference(containerName);
        try
        {
            //Fetches attributes of container
            container.FetchAttributes();
            Console.WriteLine("Container exists..");
            container.Delete();
        }
        catch (StorageClientException e)
        {
         }
