Hi AlainS ,
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
I tried to use a Delete Data activity in my pipeline and got the same settings as shown in the first screenshot.

I have selected the External Data source here. This external connection is related to the ADLS Gen2 blob storage. Hence try creating a new connection with an external source and you will get the options as shown above.
Follow the steps below:
1) Click on the new button and select any one of the external source.

2) I have selected Blob storage.

3) After the connection is successful you will find all the options.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further queries.

Actually, I'm following this exercise https://microsoftlearning.github.io/mslearn-fabric/Instructions/Labs/04-ingest-pipeline.html

Part "Modify the Pipeline"

So the source connection is the lakehouse in the workspace.

Hi AlainS , Anonymous ,
Apologies for the issue you are facing.
When selecting 'Workspace' as data store type, Delete data activity supports selecting a Lakehouse file/folder to delete. Currently this is identified as an UI issue where Lakehouse section is missing under Workspace data store type. The team is working on fixing the issue in upcoming releases of Fabric. Currently, we don't have any ETA when it will be available.

We are reaching out to the internal team to get more information related to ETA and will get back to you as soon as we have an update.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further issues.

Hi Anonymous ,

sorry, I have to ask, because I have also some trouble by using the "Delete data" activity.
I created a pipeline at my Power BI Workspace (MS Fabric). Added a "Delete data" - Activity, but I got no selection "Data Source Type". So I'm not able to select "Workspace":

On "Copy Data" I'm able to select a "Data store type":

Is this the same issue (I'm new to "Pipelines" - may be I do something wrong)?

Thanks,
Oliver
