Remove Dataset from Published App - REST API

[vojtechsima]

Hello,

I am deleting reports and datasets using Power BI REST API:

https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/xx/datasets/xx

I got this error:

   "error": {
        "code": "ContentProvider_CannotDeleteModelPublishedToOrganizationalApp",
        "pbi.error": {
            "code": "ContentProvider_CannotDeleteModelPublishedToOrganizationalApp",
            "parameters": {},
            "details": [],
            "exceptionCulprit": 1
        }
    }
}

This means the report is connected to the Published App, so I cannot remove it, however, I am deleting reports and datasets or a very big scale. How can I remove or unlink the datasets from App by REST API or in some bulk way?

Thank you very much

This is likely even more complex.  You cannot delete datasets unless you have first deleted all dependent reports.  You will also break the datasets that are chaining into your datasets.
