How to delete DirectQuery for Power BI datasets?

I tested out the new "DirectQuery for Power BI datasets" feature of the December update, but now I want to delete the table I brought in, and I can't seem to do that.

 

Does anyone know how to disconnect from a Power BI dataset?

No, I saw no option to delete. I reverted to an earlier version of my file to get around it. Thank you.

@justinh ,

 

You can righ click on the table name on the fields and delete the file. 

 

Are you not getting delete option ?

@justinh , on the right click on the table in data view, are you not getting the option to delete that?
