It is quite reasonable that the tool reports an error at the start of the upload. That is the primary use case. It is very unexpected that the file will be removed during the upload. More likely the user is uploading a blob and is unaware of that it already exists. It is therefore better not to waste resources on uploading data that will be discarded.
An example:
trainer:/workdir/model# az storage blob upload -c models --file model.onnx --name p11808/model.onnx
Finished[#############################################################] 100.0000%
The specified blob already exists.
