    If you encounter a validation error while upgrading your Azure Blob Storage to Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) due to an invalid blob name containing a trailing slash, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

    1. Identify the Problem: The error occurs because the blob name contains a trailing slash, which is not permitted. This prevents the validation step from completing successfully.
    2. Locate the Blob: Find the blob with the invalid name in your storage account. For example, the blob might be located in the container named chm-scrub-files.
    3. Copy the Data: Copy the data from the problematic blob to a new blob without a trailing slash in its name.
    4. Delete the Invalid Blob: Delete the original blob with the invalid name.
    5. Retry the Upgrade: After deleting the problematic blob, retry the migration. The validation steps should now complete successfully.

    It's crucial to ensure that all blob names adhere to the naming conventions to avoid such issues.Be cautious when deleting blobs to ensure no data is lost unintentionally. For further guidance on enabling the hierarchical namespace, refer to the following resources:
