Unable to delete PowerBI workspace.

Hi Anonymous ,

This error indicates that the workspace is associated with an ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) pipeline

Firstly , you can Check for Hidden Pipelines:

• Sometimes, there might be hidden or orphaned pipelines associated with the workspace. Even if you don’t see them, they could still exist in the background. To verify this, follow these steps:
  • Go to the Power BI Service.
  • Navigate to the workspace you want to delete.
  • Click on Settings for the workspace.
  • Look for any pipelines listed there. If you find any, try to delete them first.
  • If you don’t see any pipelines, proceed to the next step.

Second , you can try this:

• Use Power BI Admin APIs:
  • As a Power BI admin, you can use the admin APIs to view where the workspace is assigned and then delete it. Here’s how:
    • Use the GetPipelinesAsAdmin API to check if the workspace is indeed connected to any pipeline.
    • If it is, remove the workspace from the pipeline using the API.
    • Once removed, try deleting the workspace again.
