Illustrator to After effects "Creating Shapes" problem

Importing art from Illustrator to After Effects so I can "Create Shapes from Vector Layer" to make the paths editable.

Once I've created shapes, as you can see in the blue image, I have a paths on the figure plus a bounding box on the perimetre of the artboard. I need it to be like the pink figure that has no bounding box surrounding it.

Why is there a perimetre bounding box, what have I done wrong and how do avoid this?

Screenshot attached.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Correct answer OussK

that's normal in AE sometimes you get the bounding box generated automatically, you can simply dive into the generated path and delete the bounding box manually, or you can use the motion tools script to remove the extra artboard
