Cannot delete dataset

Hi Anonymous ,

That is interesting since the lineage shows no connection.  Perhaps use the API to determine if the app thinks that the dataset is still part of it.  Apps (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs  You might have to investigate backwards - to see if there is a dashboard in the App that is using a report that is using the dataset.  

Another method might be to make sure that there is no other dataset named the same as the one you are trying to remove.

Another option might be to duplicate your app as best as you can and thereby make a "backup" of sorts for yourself and then delete the dataset and see if it breaks the original one or not.  My thinking there is that it might be a "ghost" where it was once in the App and the App still has a connection to it even if it is not being used.

OR, the safest but annoying method would be to rename the Dataset as something like "DONOTUSEexistingname" and leave it be.  That would not delete it but at least it would not be used.

Let us know what happens!
