Get Data Sharepoint Folder showing outdated files

I am trying out PowerBI Desktop for the first time. I have a csv uploaded to a Sharepoint location and I have used Get Data > Sharepoint Folder, found the csv and loaded it. However I realised since that this csv didn't have all the data I needed and so have deleted it from Sharepoint, uploaded the new one to the same location and started fresh in Power BI.

But the problem is that now when I go to Get Data > Sharepoint Folder and insert the same path, it is showing only the old deleted csv and not the new one. Is there a way to manually force it to refresh so I can select the new csv file?
