ModelBuilder: Why Does the Output Folder Iterate by 1 After Each Run?

Hi,

I have a ModelBuilder workflow where a number of input features are run through the Feature Class to Shapefile tool to a single output. The process runs fine, but when I save the model, close it, and reopen it, the Output folder has iterated by 1. (e.g. the original folder is called SHP, the new output folder is called SHP (1)). The number increases by 1 for each time the model is run and saved.

While the model performance is not affected, is this expected behaviour or a bug? And is there a way to keep the folder name the same. (My ArcGIS Pro settings are also set so that the original files are overwritten, rather than saving as new shapefiles each time).

Thanks.
