Only blobs that are explicitly deleted appear in reports. Therefore, to obtain a complete listing of all soft-deleted blobs (directory and all child blobs), workloads should delete each blob in a directory before deleting the directory itself.

### Handling duplicates in Blob Inventory
438+
439+
Blob Inventory operates on a distributed system, which means that in rare cases, duplicate blob entries might appear in your reports.
440+
441+
If when post processing your inventory report, your use case requires unique blob entries, you can use the `Name` field to identify and return only the unique blobs.
442+
443+
444+
If your report includes blob versions, use both the `Name` and `Version ID` fields together to identify and return only the unique blobs and versions.
