I'm studying for the AZ-104 certification while on the job in help desk, and I need some advice. I was following a tutorial on Microsoft Learn that instructed me to create an ARM template in Visual Studio Code. I downloaded the software and created a file named azuredeploy.json. Then I hit a snag—when I tried typing 'arm' to get suggestions in the sandbox, nothing showed up. Instead, I noticed it suggested items like temp.001, temp.002, etc., which made me realize I wasn't in a sandbox as I thought. I got a bit freaked out since I don't have access to our Azure admin system.
Now, I see about 20 new user folders in my C drive's user folder with those temp names, and I'm worried they might affect my computer's performance. Should I delete them? What should I tell our system administrator about this? Also, I noticed a program called Easy Connect was downloaded automatically—should I be concerned about that?

You didn't do anything wrong! I'd suggest you go to the system admin and explain your situation honestly. Let them know that you were trying to learn and the sandbox wasn't what you thought. If anything, they might want to take a look at their security settings to prevent this from happening again. Don't just keep quiet because it could lead to misunderstanding later on.
Without valid access to Azure, you probably didn't change anything significant. As for those temp folders, if they were created recently and you’ve never seen them before, it could be worth investigating. Just check the creation date—if they weren't created by you, maybe there’s a deeper issue? And about Easy Connect, it's good that you uninstalled it if you weren’t sure what it was.
Honestly, it sounds like a security oversight on your company's part. You were just following instructions, and the sandbox environment might not have been set up correctly for you. If you're really concerned, you could approach your system administrator and just explain what happened; they might appreciate your honesty and help you understand better as well. I'd say don't stress too much about it.
If you didn’t run any commands or deploy anything, you likely haven’t done any harm. Those temp user folders might just be leftovers from the system, especially since you mentioned you’re the only one who’s used the laptop. If you're worried, just clear out what you think is unnecessary, but it seems like you’ll be fine. And yeah, don’t forget to monitor stuff like Easy Connect—sounds suspicious!
