Hello Kartheek,

Thank you for your question!

Please be informed that when managing a general-purpose v2 storage account with a Hot Access tier in Azure, it is important to note that costs may arise, especially if the access tier is modified or if there are fees related to data operations such as read and write. It is crucial to evaluate the particular actions performed during the cleanup process, as certain operations could result in extra expenses.
