I had the same issue. You cannot remove datasources from Dataflows....thats really a missing feature / bug.

 

the workaround is to download the JSON, then import the JSON again (it will duplicate your dataflow, but without the obsolete data source). then you can rework your dataflows that might connect to (depend on) this dataflow, and after that remove the old dataflow.

    Yes, that seems to work. Unfortunatly, a new guid will be created and I have to alter subsequent dataflows which reference this one, and have to wait again for hours for validation.

    Later in production when people use this dataflow, the workaround won't help, since they reference by guid as well.
