Existing storage accounts are not impacted and are not deleted. Microsoft asks customers to transition all new and existing blob storage account deployments to Standard endpoints by April 1, 2027.

Identify storage accounts with AzureDnsZone endpoints using the Azure Resource Graph query given in the source.
Follow Microsoft's instructions to update deployments to Standard endpoints.
