Azure Storage browser shows incorrect container count and size.

In Azure storage account, we have a new option Storage browser(Preview) , which shows total count of containers and overall size . It shows number of containers as 5 , but when i see , i can only see 4 containers. i dont know where is the 5th container, which is expected to be very heavy ?

Also i calculated size of each container and found that overall total added size of all containers does not exceed around 300 GB, but storage browser shows 1.2TiB ( which i think is 1.2 TeraBytes)

@MSTechie-7364 I was able to repro the issue, I didn't find any issue Can you please across verify again and let me know the status

For general information, some resources are hidden and not included in the normal listing requests. These are usually containers or tables maintained by the platform, such as for logging purposes.

Also, TiB is a tebibyte, which is similar to but not equivalent to a terabyte. More specifically, 1 TB = 10004 B, whereas 1 TiB = 10244 B (source: Binary prefix - Wikipedia).strong text

Make sure to include any snapshots, versions and soft deleted blobs/versions in your calculation. there might be hidden system containers counted by the metrics API.

Can you please across verify again and let me know the status

As the feature is in preview, there can be certain issues involved till the feature comes out. I suggest you to verify this using Azure Storage explorer desktop application: https://www.storageexplorer.com/
Connect your subscription and check how you see the Blob Containers within Storage Explorer
