How can I delete a leased blob in Microsoft Azure storage

You need to delete the disk objects that are associated with the abandoned vhd’s. You can do this easily in either the classic or new portal. Once you dispose of these (along with associated leases), you should be able to get rid of your storage account

In the Classic portal (manage.windowsazure.com), you just visit Virtual Machines, then Disks. Select a disk to delete, and click the trash can at the bottom of the screen.

classic portal - disks

In the new portal (portal.azure.com) you’ll find the disks under OS Disks (classic) :

OS disks in new portal

From there, you can select and delete the disks from the VM’s you deleted.
