Unable to interact with DBFS

When I try to interact with the "Browse DBFS" button, I get the following error:

 

Operation failed: "The specified path, or an element of the path, exists and its resource type is invalid for this operation.", 409, PUT, https://dbstoragerrzvpacujrs22.dfs.core.windows.net/root/2955905672014451/FileStore/tables?resource=..., PathConflict, , "The specified path, or an element of the path, exists and its resource type is invalid for this operation.

Hi @learning384e,

Could you please share the command you are running including the action? does it have dbfs:/ in the path?

I'm using the UI interface and clicking on the button highlighted in the screenshot:

 

I get the same 409 PUT error when I run the command: CREATE DATABASE demo; using a sql cell in notebooks.

"Error in SQL statement: AnalysisException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: MetaException(message:Got exception: 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, PUT, https://dbstoragerrzvpacujrs22.dfs.core.windows.net/root/2955905672014451/user/hive/warehouse/demo.d..., PathConflict, "The specified path, or an element of the path, exists and its resource type is invalid for this operation.
