In the if condition, we specify the number of days when the blob was last modified. If the condition is satisfied, you can perform one of the following actions: -

Move the blob to the cold access tier
Move the blob to the archive access tier
Delete the blob

Create The Rule

For this example, I have uploaded a text file inside the container of the storage account.
