Deleted and Bugged Dataflow

Hi All,
I've deleted a dataflow from the power bi workspace but when I try to load the available dataflows from this workspace in the query editor the deleted flow has some remains, which are empty.
Why are these still here and how can I permanently remove them.

Thanks in advance,
With kind regards,

Luuc

    Hi Luuc_Evers To permanently remove Could you please try these

    • Clear cache: In Power BI Desktop, go to File > Options > Data Load > Clear Cache, then restart Power BI Desktop.

    • Refresh workspace: Open the workspace in Power BI Service and refresh its metadata to check for lingering references.

    • Remove dependencies: In Lineage View, ensure no datasets or dataflows depend on the deleted dataflow.

    • Update queries: In Transform Data, delete any queries referencing the old dataflow.

    If this post helped please do give a kudos and accept it as a solution
    Thanks In Advance

    Hi v-aatheeque  and Akash_Varuna,
    Thank you for your solutions.
    Unfortunately your suggested solutions don't work.
    I think the 4th option might solve the issue but that requires me to track 60+ reports for possible dependencies.

    Thanks again.
