Cannot Delete Content Pack
No go on this either. I signed out of Office 365 / Power BI, cleared my cache, changed from Chrome to IE 11 (and cleared my cache there also) and still am having the same issue.
One added detail, that I'm not sure will relate, is that in my original process, I had created a group for my organization, then created the Content Pack. The things I did after that involved deleting the group first and then attempting to delete the Content Pack. I'm not sure if the order of operations here is bad possibly, or if the content pack would even be associated with the deleted group at all. That said, the group was deleted just fine.
ericg Did you create the Content Pack from within the Group?
My guess is that I did create the Content Pack from within the Group. This was a couple of weeks ago, so I don't remember exactly the timing of everything I initially did. I do strangely have a dashboard under dashboards that is listed when I select "Show: My Content" but when I click on the elipsis next to it is stated to be owned by the group I created and then deleted.
In any event, I cannot find any evidence of that group existing (aside from owning one dashboard that I can still see) in either Power BI or Office 365.
ericg Yeah, this is a really kludgy bug. The "guts" of a Group are not deleted when you delete the Group. You have to make sure that all datasources, reports, dashboards, (and now apparently Content Packs) are deleted prior to deleting the Group. i've seen the shared elements sticking around, so it would only make sense that the Content Pack sticks around as well... I don't recall if I filed a bug on this particular item or not.
