Multiple folders with the same name inside Library/Containers, is this normal ?

Hi,

Just setup new MacBook Air with M1 and the operating system is 11.5.2.. Now I do notice that there are multiple files with the same name inside Library -> Containers folder as can be seen in the attached picture. I did try erasing all folders with same name but it keeps recurring.. I would like to know if this is normal or somehow my operating system is corrupted ?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

One of the reasons Apple took to hiding the User/Library folder was to prevent users doing what you're doing - deleting things they don't understand. It's normal.
