Error while taking over the dataflow. Can someone help?

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

Actually I managed to solve this differently. I was given access to a data source on the gateway and then this error disappeared

@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
