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.
