Error while describing table created in unity catalog

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&maxResu..., PathConflict, "The specified path, or an element of the path, exists and its resource type is invalid for this operation. RequestId:e1187b37-301f-006d-0ec4-d18084000000 Time:2023-08-18T11:12:39.0536283Z"

 

What does this error mean and why does it occur?
