Some REST API calls return status 405 using PowerShell

Datasets - Cancel Refresh In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Method Delete -Url 'groups/xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxc54c/datasets/xxxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx2bb0f/refreshes/xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx5b444'
