Find source of folders and subfolders inside table in Power Bi Desktop?

I came across a PowerBI that for each table it has folders and subfolders inside. See:

Is there a way of knowing if they were added at Power BI level, or they come straight from SSAS?

 

(I added a measure in power bi, and it got stored in one of the subfolders, not sure why, is this random? I am also unable to move it to another folder...)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

When you create a measure, it will be saved into the table you selected. 

For example, if you click on "Table1" or any columns or measures in "Table1", and you create a new measure. Then, the new created measure will be save into "Table1".
