    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.

I don't know if this topic is still opened but I've found that if for example I have a server as a source and let's say a local excel that I need to delete from the data sources, I click "change source" form the excel file and paste the main server on top. Click ok and it will only show the server now. Since is "doubled"
