Trying to remove data source from Power BI Desktop but 'Delete' greyed out

I'm trying to remove the data source below. I am new to Power BI and was testing things out but now I can't delete this data source. As you can see in the image the 'Delete' is greyed out, but this is what I've seen most suggest to use to delete it.

 

Thank you for your help.

I'm wondering, is it a permissions issue? I created the data source, but I can't delete it?
