You can also free up disk space on App Service by deleting the Media files in wp-content/uploads folder, if they are already stored in Blob Storage. It is however recommended to ensure Blob Storage has all files present in App Service before deleting.
I just tried this and noticed that it breaks media previews in the editor, which references {SITE_URL}/wp-content/uploads and not {AZURE_CDN_URL}/{BLOB_CONTAINER}/wp-content-uploads. Opening the preview in a new tab works fine, but the content manager of my site relies on the real-time preview within the editor.
Questions:
Is there any way to configure W3 Total Cache to inject the CDN endpoints on the editor page in addition to the actual site? I've also asked this on the plugin's repo: https://github.com/BoldGrid/w3-total-cache/issues/923
If not, are there any other workarounds to have working media previews in the editor without keeping files on App Service disk?
