Remove file from Datasource

Hello,

 

I have a folder with a few files in it. 

I consolidate those files with PQ. 

I want to remove one of those files. 

I do to SourceData and I see the file row I want to delete.

How do I delete it?

Hi @Centaur ,

 

You check data sources in the current file. To delete the data source in current report, you need to delete all queries or tables connect to this specific data source manually. Then this data source will disappear correspondingly in Data Source Settings. Please check.

Hi, I guess it is Filter and not delete.  I see filter.  I guess it functions as the same.  thank you.
