I have created an external table in unity catalog and when describing its data getting the following error

org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileAlreadyExistsException: Operation failed: "The specified path, or an element of the path, exists and its resource type is invalid for this operation.", 409, GET, https://unitymetastorepoc.dfs.core.windows.net/unity-metastore?upn=false&resource=filesystem&maxResults=5000&directory=customer/customers.parquet/_delta_log&continuation=NTU4NjA5OTE0NzQwMTQ1MDUyNyAwIDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDA=&timeout=90&recursive=false&st=2023-08-18T11:02:33Z&sv=2020-02-10&ske=2023-08-18T13:02:33Z&sig=XXXXX&sktid=587c02ce-b294-44bb-8fd6-0f5695508d28&se=2023-08-18T12:12:38Z&sdd=2&skoid=f979eff4-9731-4732XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&spr=https&sks=b&skt=2023-08-18T11:02:33Z&sp=rl&skv=2020-02-10&**bleep**=d, PathConflict, "The specified path, or an element of the path, exists and its resource type is invalid for this operation.

What does this error mean and why does it occur?

Can you confirm you created a Storage Credential and External Location prior to the CREATE TABLE statement. Also can you post the CREATE TABLE syntax? Thanks....
