Great video Travis! I encountered an issue you might be able to help with: when you upload a file with the read-only attribute, it retains this attribute in the file share, as expected. However, this makes it impossible to delete, overwrite, or change the attribute to archive so it can be deleted. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this as I am stuck with a large file in a test storage account, and it’s costing me money

Fantastic. As a newly certified Azure Data Scientist Asso. would love to have your take on the subject and possibly a related video. Be it a technical or general view.
