    had this same issue when I created a link to a file on a mapped network drive initially, then later changed it to the full network path to the file.

     

    Both data connections were showing up when I either published it to PowerBI.com or when I went to PowerBI.com and tried to pull the file instead. 

     

    I ended up deleting it from PowerBI.com, re-downloading and installing Personal Gateway, then pulling the file into PowerBI.com using Get Data.

     

    Kind of a pain, but it worked. It was a solution offered by a Microsoft employee in another thread.

Any true solution? I still face the same issue mentioned above. I use PROD and QA Datasource. I however want to remove the QA Data source from cloud and from PBI desktop. Due to this refresh fails and my datasource is on-prem, so I dont need any gateway.
