When writing to parquet, I am getting an extra empty file created alongside the folder with data.

I do not need it, causing mess only.
Here are the commands I tried, and got this file in both.
output_path = "/mnt/cointainer/folder/subfolder/sub_subfolder_" + currentdate
....
childitems.write.mode('overwrite').parquet(output_path)
or
output_path = "/mnt/cointainer/folder/subfolder/sub_subfolder_" + currentdate
....
childitems.write.format("parquet").mode('overwrite').save(output_path)
How to get rid of this unwanted file?
