I took over the dataflow from some other colleague. So while setting up dataflow connection, I'm getting the below error:
The specified connection name already exists. Choose a different name or refresh the list of your available connections
Solved! Go to Solution.
Actually I managed to solve this differently. I was given access to a data source on the gateway and then this error disappeared
Hi @imagautham
Thanks for reaching out to us.
please go to Settings - Manage gateways and find the duplicate data flow there.

@imagautham , If you trying to in power bi, then in datasource setting delete the connection and try again.
In case of dataflow on service, I doubt this should give this error. please clear browser cache and try again
Hi @amitchandak
Thanks for the reply. Yes, This is happening on dataflow in pbi service. I cleared by browser cache and tried again. Its not working
