Cannot delete dataset or datamart

I was trying to create a datamart for the "Weekly Index Archive" dataset, and wound up creating another dataset instead. When I try to delete the "Untitled" dataset there is no option to delete:

 

 

and when I try to delete the datamart I just get a spinning circle that never loads anything:

 

Is there any other place I can go to delete these items?

  • Hey Anonymous ,

     

    you have to delete the datamart if you want to delete the dataset.

    It can take some until the context menu will become available after creation.

    For the 1st time i created a datamart it took ~45min

     

    I assume you just need a little more patience before you try to open the context menu of the datamart.

     

    Regards,

    Tom

      Thanks Tom- maybe PBI just needed to sleep on it. I came in this morning and was able to delete the datamart immediately. It took the associated dataflow with it.
