Azure batch operations delete several blobs and tables - azure

Question

I have a function that deletes every table & blob that belongs to the affected user.
CloudTable uploadTable = CloudStorageServices.GetCloudUploadsTable();
TableQuery<UploadEntity> uploadQuery = uploadTable.CreateQuery<UploadEntity>();
List<UploadEntity> uploadEntity = (from e in uploadTable.ExecuteQuery(uploadQuery)
where e.PartitionKey == "uploads" && e.UserName == User.Idendity.Name
select e).ToList();
foreach (UploadEntity uploadTableItem in uploadEntity)
{
//Delete table
TableOperation retrieveOperationUploads = TableOperation.Retrieve<UploadEntity>("uploads", uploadTableItem.RowKey);
TableResult retrievedResultUploads = uploadTable.Execute(retrieveOperationUploads);
UploadEntity deleteEntityUploads = (UploadEntity)retrievedResultUploads.Result;
TableOperation deleteOperationUploads = TableOperation.Delete(deleteEntityUploads);
uploadTable.Execute(deleteOperationUploads);
//Delete blob
CloudBlobContainer blobContainer = CloudStorageServices.GetCloudBlobsContainer();
CloudBlockBlob blob = blobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(uploadTableItem.BlobName);
blob.Delete();
}
Each table got its own blob, so if the list contains 3 uploadentities, the 3 table and the 3 blobs will be deleted.
I heard you can use table batch operations for reduce cost and load. I tried it, but failed miserable. Anyone intrested in helping me:)?
Im guessing tablebatch operations are for tables only, so its a no go for blobs, right?
How would you add tablebatchoperations for this code? Do you see any other improvements that can be done?
Thanks!

I wanted to use batch operations but I didn't know how. Anyhow, I figured it out after some testing.
Improved code for deleting several entities:
CloudTable uploadTable = CloudStorageServices.GetCloudUploadTable();
TableQuery<UserUploadEntity> uploadQuery = uploadTable.CreateQuery<UserUploadEntity>();
List<UserUploadEntity> uploadEntity = (from e in uploadTable.ExecuteQuery(uploadQuery)
where e.PartitionKey == "useruploads" && e.MapName == currentUser
select e).ToList();
var batchOperation = new TableBatchOperation();
foreach (UserUploadEntity uploadTableItem in uploadEntity)
{
//Delete upload entities
batchOperation.Delete(uploadTableItem);
//Delete blobs
CloudBlobContainer blobContainer = CloudStorageServices.GetCloudBlobContainer();
CloudBlockBlob blob = blobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(uploadTableItem.BlobName);
blob.Delete();
}
uploadTable.ExecuteBatch(batchOperation);
I am aware that batchoperations are limited to 100 but in my case its nothing to worry about.
