https://cloud.netapp.com/blog/reduce-azure-storage-costsTo identify unattached disks that can be deleted in an Azure subscription that contains 100 virtual machines, you can follow these steps:
Navigate to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/) and sign in to your Azure account.
In the left-hand menu, click on "Virtual machines" to view a list of all virtual machines in your subscription.
Select any virtual machine from the list, and then click on "Disks" in the left-hand menu to view a list of all disks associated with that virtual machine.
Check the status of each disk. If the disk is not attached to any virtual machine, it is an unattached disk and can be deleted.
Repeat this process for each virtual machine in your subscription to identify all unattached disks.
Once you have identified all unattached disks, you can delete them to save storage costs.
Now let's review the answer options:
A. From Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, view the Account Management properties. This option is not relevant to the task of identifying unattached disks that can be deleted. Azure Storage Explorer is a tool for managing Azure Storage accounts, not virtual machines.
B. From the Azure portal, configure the Advisor recommendations. This option is also not relevant to the task at hand. Azure Advisor provides recommendations for optimizing your Azure resources, but it does not specifically identify unattached disks.
C. From Azure Cost Management, open the Optimizer tab and create a report. This option is closer to the correct solution. Azure Cost Management includes an Optimizer feature that can help you identify unused and underutilized resources in your Azure subscription, including unattached disks. However, it is not the most direct method for identifying unattached disks.
D. From Azure Cost Management, create a Cost Management report. This option is not the best solution for identifying unattached disks. Cost Management reports provide insights into your Azure spending, but they do not specifically identify unattached disks.
In summary, the most direct method for identifying unattached disks that can be deleted is to check the disks associated with each virtual machine in your subscription through the Azure portal.
