Error running script: The storage account is already taken.

[47Problem]

I am receiving an error that the storage account that the script is trying to create is already taken. I have confirmed it is not. I have also completely deleted everything in the resource group and started over by creating a new SQL Data warehouse with a new name and have still received the error.

New-AzStorageAccount : The storage account named databrickstrainingstor is already taken.
Parameter name: Name
At C:\Users\jamebrow\Downloads\labOneClickDeployment.ps1:165 char:18

Issue Found:

Within the code the character length for storageAccountName was set to (0,22) while Azure is defined that the name can be 24 Characters long. Modified to 24 and the script ran and completed creating the necessary account and storage containers.

function InitVariables{
$global:useCaseName = $global:resourceGroupName.ToLower()
$global:useCaseName = $global:useCaseName.Replace('.','')
$global:useCaseName = $global:useCaseName.Replace('_','')
$global:useCaseName = $global:useCaseName.Replace('-','')
$global:useCaseName = $global:useCaseName.Replace('(','')
$global:useCaseName = $global:useCaseName.Replace(')','')
$global:dataName = $global:useCaseName + 'data' + $global:datePart
if($global:dataName.Length -gt 24)
{
$global:dataName = $global:dataName.Substring(0,24)
}

 $global:storageContainerName = $global:labContainer
 $global:storageAccountName = $global:useCaseName + "store" + $global:datePart
 if($global:storageAccountName.Length -gt 24)
 {
    $global:storageAccountName = $global:storageAccountName.Substring(0,24)
 }
 
 [string]$global:location = $global:ResourceGroup.Location
