Description

This feature is required for being able to permanently delete blobs when soft delete and versioning are enabled. It can be found in the Azure Portal under the Data Protection section of a Storage Account.

az cli 2.48.1 shows this property via the command:
az storage account blob-service-properties show -n [storageaccount] -r [resourcegroup]

With this section in the output:

{
  ...
  "deleteRetentionPolicy": {
    "_allowPermanentDelete_": true,
    "days": 1,
    "enabled": true
  }
  ...
}

It can be set with:
az storage account blob-service-properties update --set deleteRetentionPolicy.allowPermanentDelete=true ...
