azure_rm_storageblob

ANSIBLE VERSION

ansible --version
ansible 2.10.17
  config file = /Users/keshavprasad/Repos/keshavprasadms/sunbird-devops-public/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/Users/keshavprasad/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/ansible

Using azcopy, I can do the same something like this

azcopy rm "https://STORAGE_ACCPINT/CONTAINER/FOLDER?SAS_TOKEN" --recursive=true

I would like to achieve this using the ansible modules. I tried patterns like * and **, it didn't work. Any suggestions on how to achieve batch delete? Example playbook below -

- hosts: localhost
  environment:
    AZURE_TENANT: "tenant_id"
    AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: "subscription_id"
    AZURE_CLIENT_ID: "client_id"
    AZURE_SECRET: "client_secret"
  tasks:
  - name: Delete Blob
    azure_rm_storageblob:
      resource_group: "my-rg"
      storage_account_name: "my-storage"
      container: "my-container"
      blob: "my-folder/*"
      state: absent
      blob_type: block

I am open to any suggestions of there is another way to do the same.
