    Currently, unlike some other Fabric items, there's no takeover mechanism for entire workspaces when the owner leaves.

    However, as a Workspace Contributor, while you cannot delete the workspace, you can take ownership of individual Fabric items (such as Lakehouses, Notebooks, Pipelines, etc.) that you have access to. Once you take ownership, you’ll be able to delete those individual items if needed.

     

    Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

Hi Srisakthi 

 

Being a contributor role, you don't have sufficiant permissions to delete the workspace.  I can sugegst alternatives approches as mentioned below.

 

  • If you have the credentials of person left from organisation, log in with that credentails and make yourself as admin and later delete it.
  • Contact your Power BI admin/Organisational admin they will help you to delete it.
  • Contact power bi support Power BI support - Power BI | Microsoft Learn and raise the ticket.

 

Let me know if it works.

 

Thank you!!!
