Can I delete an entire partition in Windows Azure Table Storage?

Question

I have a set of rows in a partition that represents some cached data. I want to refresh that cache without any concern for what is already there. Is it possible to delete an entire partition without having to do any selects?

Answer 1

No, but you can delete an entire table with one call, so you might consider making your partitions separate tables instead. (But, of course, you can't do cross-table queries.)
