Error in AzureWebJobStorage every time I restart my computer

Question

When I start up my azure functions project after a reboot of my computer I am getting the error below. I have worked around it by deleting files in Azure storage, but I was wondering what is going on here and how I could possibly fix the error.

Answer 1

Here are two workarounds that you can try.

WAY - 1

Navigate to your local.settings.json, add a new setting called AzureWebJobsSecretStorageType and set it to "files".

{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet",
    "AzureWebJobsSecretStorageType": "files"
  }
}

WAY - 2

Delete or rename the folder C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Temp\Azurite
