Cannot refresh Azure Table Storage

I have PowerBI Desktop connected to Azure Table Storage. After data loaded I had the table schema changed by added several new columns of data.

 

I tried deleted the old queries and add new data resource, during the connection the system did not promopt for key after I entered Account name, then after data loaded I saw the data was still in old schema and cannot see the new added columns.

 

I tried refresh after removed the credential of the data source, it did not work. I also tried in new PBIX file in same machine, not working either.

 

I'm trying on a new machine while I still need fix it in current machine.

 

 

Appreciate if any help on how to trouble shoot the refresh thing, or at least how to force a "new start" on data source. Thanks.

I can more or less reproduce that issue. After I clean the data cache, it works without problem. Please try click "File"->"Options and Settings"->"Options"->"Data Load"-"Clear cache".
