Direct Query for Power BI on dataset New feature can't be removed?

[Anonymous]

I connected a dataset to a separate model which works fine on desktop. Publishing to Service works, however all the the connected data causes display issues for me and can't display due to credentials for others. Now I can't disconnect the dataset. Has anyone had any luck removing an added dataset?

*I've tried clearing permissions because it was the only place I could see the connection.

*I've tried turning the preview off and restarting. It doubled all the queries from the model and won't let them be deleted. The doubled queries do not show up in the Query Editor.

Create a new dashboard, with a SQl data Source.  I used the query Select '1'.  Edit the source of the DirectQuery to use the new datasource, and the old tables will dissapear once you refresh.  This should eliminate any performance hit that the old datasource was using (mine was considerable)

Hopefully they will implement a delete function for this.

It says, "Transform data (toolbar) -> Transform data (dropdown menu) -> Click on unwanted query -> Delete."

Which appears to no longer exist.

The purpose of this feature is to allow use combine LC source with other DQ or Import source. In fact, the fields are still Live connected, you are not able to delete tables like you cannot modify model under LC mode. 

Currently, there is no way to remove the PBI dataset queries only, you can only recreate a pbix with other DQ and Import datasources. You can share your feedback or idea to improve the feature: Share your thoughts on DirectQuery for Power BI da... - Microsoft Power BI Community

This is pretty poor.  I have the same problem and cannot delete the source.  There needs to be a way to delete it.
