More Information

Immutability will make your data impossible to delete before its immutability retention expiration, except in the event of termination of the associated Azure subscription due to failure to pay. If you fail to pay your bill and your account has an active time-based retention policy in effect, normal data retention policies will apply as stipulated in the terms and conditions of your contract with Microsoft. For general information, see Data management at Microsoft.
