Table deleted long time ago not found while refreshing
OK, thing is that I had a few measures that referred to the deleted table. Surely they were with errors. It looks like Power BI analyzes everything (tables, measures) defined in Desktop and tries to load them alongside what is defined in Power Query. Do not know what is the logic behind this, but that's how Microsoft designed it.
Hi gvg
Have you refreshed your model after the table was deleted and saved it post that? If yes, then this error should not pop up. If it still persists, go and delete the temp files from the below path:
C:\Users\ankit\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\TempSaves. This would not impact any of your data and files, it would just clear the temp files that is being cached.
Post that open your pbix file and click on each of your steps in your query and ensure data gets previewed on every step.
Thanks,
Ankit
Thanks for the hint. Sure I refreshed my model a number of times. I have now cleared everything from TempSaves and also Cache, but the issue is still there. Strangely enough refreshing in Power Query (Refresh All) goes smoothly without any error message. However when I click Refresh in Power BI Desktop itself, I end up with the above mentioned issue.

Had the same issue. Was sure I hadn't used the deleted table in any measures, but checked each one and what do you know? Yep, removed the offending measure and it was all good.
