Go to "Edit Queries", delete all queries which correspond to tables you want to delete,

 

Delete all measures or calculated columns which mention those tables,

 

Delete all relationships which involve those tables,

 

If none above helped, try refreshing queries one by one, to see if it helps or to see which one fails,

 

One you found problematic query, edit it,

  Select Source in "Query Settings",

  Refresh preview,

  Go through "Applied Steps" in order to see which one fails.

Based on the error message, some columns in your deleted table are referenced in other DAX formulas. You have to manually remove those referenced columns in other expresssions. Also delete the relationship to other related tables.
