Is there an API call I can make to Azure Storage to tell if my container has been deleted?

Question

I want to clear a storage account then \"restore\" to it using AzCopy.

I clear last nights storage using

$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccoun

Answer 1

Isn't the error message enough to give you the same behavior. You can write that API yourself. Or I'm missing something?

"The specified container is being deleted. Try operation later."
