    Just out of curiosity, I attempted to remove the visuals via the file extension trick.  With this, you change the report file extension from .pbix to .zip). Extract the zip file to a folder.  Browse to the Report --> Custom Visuals directory and remove the custom visualization that you don't need.  Zip the file back up and then rename the extension from .zip to .pbix.

     

    This works to remove the visualization from the options but still gives the custom visualization prompt to enable them.

I had to use a combination of PowerDax and Fransico's solutions with a caveat. I had to leave "resourcePackages":[ ] in the layout file. Change back to pbix and acknowledge the warning one last time. Looking at the layout file again the resourcePackages option was gone. Open up as pbix one more time and no warning. Otherwise I was getting a corrupt file error.

 

Hope this helps!
