load data from sharepoint folder

I want to load four xlsx files stored in a sharepoint folder (see printscreen). In Power BI, I chose Get Data-Sharepoint Folder. Under the data transformation tab, I see lots of files stored in root url, but after filter file names, I only find one file in the sharepoint folder where the four documents are stored.

I couldn't figure out where the other three files are gone. Although I know that these four documents are exactly the same, so the same files might be loaded four times to sharepoint. but still, I expect to find 4 files in that sharepoint folder.

@Jeanxyz do you have any other filter in PQ? Seems like the other 3 files are recently copied, can you refresh the preview to see if that updates the list?
