    Hi,

     

    Thank you very much for the feedback, this is very useful:).

     

    However we were thinking if there is a centralized way to do it, not made by users by their own but someone from IT department can do it for everyone (maybe to delete a file in case if visuals are stored as a file). Is there any solution for that?

     

    Thanks again:)

     

    Regards,

    Kata

    Hi kata ,

     

    The default visuals about powerbi desktop are stored in the pbix file, and after unpacking we can see information like data model, connection method, layout, etc. The layout file contains all the information related to the layout of the report. This is essentially where the reports, and visual objects and all their related properties are stored.

    Deleting the default visuals does not reduce the size of the stored files.

     

    For more details, you can read related blog.

    If the problem is still not resolved, point it out. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
