Hi,
I have recently created a logic app flow to extract some data from a Power BI File.
The flow is working perfectly, it is running a query against a power BI dataset, creating a CSV, and uploading the CSV to blob.
However, every time the flow runs, it creates these random containers with some JSON files.
I have attached a picture with the flow and my storage account
Thanks in advance
If you have any questions please reach out.

As per your screenshot I can see you are using upload blob action so that would be only creating the blobs and not container.
To confirm if logic app creates those containers, I will suggest you to review your run history action to validate the same.

Yes I have confirmed it. When I run the logic App, it creates the container. And the creation time of the container also matches the run time of the logic app

2023-09-15T03:25:20.1233333+00:00 @Michael Løhde Nielsen Have you looked into the run history to validate the same in your input/output action. If you are not able to validate from the run history action I can connect with you to review your workflow.

Sorry for the delay in my response. Although I created a new logic app, and that solved the problem :)

I can ask internally - because in my case they seem to persist in the storage account linked to the logic app (webjobs storage) after the app has run. My example is a stateful logic app. so it could be related to the state that's stored but i was unable to find any docs to clarify the point

Data Engineer, T-Mobile 0 Reputation points2023-09-29T14:23:27.4966667+00:00 Any additional information as to how this occurs (or how to prevent it)? I'm having this issue and can't seem to narrow it down to a specific workflow or event that is causing the containers to be created.
Just to hopefully give more context to find a fix: I am using a standard logic app, with the built in blob connector (not v2), and the workflows are all stateful as well.
