Hi Anonymous 

I connect to a folder with Power BI Desktop, then i get a table with information of the folder.

Would you like to delete any column or all columns from this table?

If so, i could delete by "delete columns"

 

If you connect to several folders with Power BI, then you want to delete one folder, you could right click on the table name to select "delete".

 

Best Regards

Maggie

    Hi Maggie,

     

    Good day!

     

    I'd like to clarify my question, my apology. What I mean is I want to delete the data source as I no longer use it in the dashboard. I need to delete the first two sources as shown below. I appreciate your help.

      - Click global permission

      - right click on connection you want to remove

      - click edit permission

      - on popup dialog, click delete,

      - click ok, you will get warning message. click ok

       

      it will remove the connection.

        parry2k,  I've tried but when I choose the Global permission the sources that I want to delete doesn't show. Here is the snippet
