Hi beaconfbb
In desktop view , click … for the data model , and then click the “Delete from model” , you can directly delete the data model, including the records in the data source settings .

I usually right-click and the data source, click on "change source" and provide the same information as the other data source and Power BI removes one of them.
this worked for me!!
Worked great for me as well.
Why the actual heck do they not have a 'Delete'? I realize why they may not want to have Delete, as it could permanantly break the entire model, but the option could be useful. Power BI could check if anything is using an outdated data source, and if not, allow the option to appear.

@Syndicate_Admin thank you very much, your advice helped, my problem was solved,
In my case, 2 folders were duplicated, and when I selected the same path, one was automatically deleted.
