i have a OS VHD blob that is orphaned and it has a system lease which cannot be broken

The blob was created in 2018 and has something to do with a migration.

The URI to the blob is here: https://dlcdc19059.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/S3-os-1992.vhd

The VHD is orphaned. It does not belong to any VM, either as a managed or unmanaged disk

Because it has a system lease, I cannot delete it. My research says that only Microsoft can do this.

Can you please help?
