Failed to complete the command because the underlying location does not exist LakehouseSQL Endpoint
Hello Anonymous
The SQL Endpoint’s metadata (table/file references) becomes temporarily out of sync with the actual Delta tables in the Lakehouse. This causes queries to reference outdated file paths (e.g., GUID-based Parquet files that no longer exist). The error code `24596` explicitly indicates this mismatch
This issue was discussed many times in the forum. Although it is never mentioned in known issues in Fabric docs
try Manually trigger a metadata refresh on the Lakehouse via Fabric’s UI to force the SQL Endpoint to sync
Right-click Lakehouse → Refresh
Modify your pipeline to include a retry loop with a 30–60-second wait between attempts
workarounds like forced refreshes and retries often resolve it. For critical systems, consider using Delta Lake directly
