Q. If a VM is deallocated in Azure, do I still pay for the storage it consumes?

A. Yes. Even though the VM is no longer allocated to a host in Azure the actual storage for the VM is still persisted in the Azure storage account. This means you still pay the storage charges for the OS disk and any data disks.
