Hi,
 
When we are trying to run one of the Power automate desktop flows, were getting the below error, which is stopping the flow from execution, does anyone had this issue, if in case what's the workaround.

Error: Message = Exception of type 'Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Shared.Clients.DataClients.Cds.Adapters.Exceptions.DesktopFlowBinaryReferenceCollisionException' was thrown.

("Error = Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Shared.Clients.DataClients.Cds.Adapters.Exceptions.DesktopFlowBinaryReferenceCollisionException
