Power BI freeze after executing an Edit on Query

I have a large table, i reduced the number of rows from 52m to 25m

 

everything went fine. but now when i make Edit Query and apply the changes it takes long time and keep counting the rows then towards the end power bi freezes and nothing happens, changes are not applied. i left the frozen screen for more than 10 hours at night , but the same result.

8 columns.

 

do u think the following will help:

 

using Sql server database connector instead of "ODBC" connector. 

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Yes definitely try that, you should be getting better performance from SQL Server Connector.
