Multiple connections

Hi guys and girls.

When I go in to manage my connections I find multiple occurrences with the same connections.
And when I go in on each individual row different apps/flows are using each row.

But why does it create multiple rows... it's the same email for each connection and in my view I should have one connection to Outlook... with all my apps & Flows... not three with a few each.

(I masked the email... but each marking got the exact same email)

Hey Mate,
@FUS

Have a look at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Multiple-connections-appearing-in-actions/td-p/665861

In the thread,

The solution is to delete duplicate connections in the Connections area of Data. Exit the Power Automate app. Then relaunch the app. The duplicate connections in the actions will be gone.

Although I could request you to be extra careful before you delete the connection.

I would also request you to upvote the idea as managing connections is actually a pain:

Thanks @CFernandes, but your post adresses multiple connectors in a flow.
I have multiple identical connectors in Connection Management... not in the individual apps and flows.

And I even have the same app in several duplicated connectors and some cases the same flow several times in one connector.
In two Outlook connectors I got two connectors to the same flow in each... so a total of 4 connectors to the same DELETED flow.

But let's keep it simple.

If you go in on Connections "management" as I call it... and click on "New Connection"... and you connect to your outlook mail.
Now if you do this a second time you'd expect to be informed that the connection already exist.
But no... you can actually connect to your outlook mail several times... I tried 3 times... and since I already had 2 previous once I now have 5 outlook connections in the Connections management.

Is there a purpose why I can have several identical connectors?
And for me... is there a risk?

Looking for information on this as well. Curious as to why multiple connectors get created, and some flows use one connector and others use a different one, but both same account..
