How to exclude deleted SharePoint files
- 4 years ago
It looks like this might have been a timing issue. I refreshed the report while I was on the phone with MSFT (first time since yesterday), and the deleted file was gone. I am not able to see the site collection (second stage) recycle bin, so I cannot see if it has also been purged from the site, too. My understanding contents are automatically removed after 93 days unless someone manually removes them. MSFT did not have any other insight, but I'll consider this resolved for now.
If anyone has any other scenarios, let me know. I am curious if other folks have issues with this.
Interesting observation. The same happens for SharePoint.Contents() . Value.Metadata also doesn't seem to yield anything. You can raise an issue at https://issues.powerbi.com . If you have a Pro license you can consider raising a Pro ticket at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/pro/

Thanks for confirming the behavior, lbendlin! I submitted a Pro ticket and will update this post if MSFT is able to provide any insight.
