Clear streaming data set cache

How to clear the streaming dataset cache programtically? I don't want to manually do it each time it need to be cleared. I have tried using Power Shell to delete from the table, but it seems that there is no table name available for the streaming dataset.

 

Thanks.

Hi @jyuan ,

 

If you've created a real-time dataset and you didn't check the "Enable historic data analysis" option, then there is no need to manually clear its entries, since Power BI is not storing anything.

 

If you've created a real-time dataset either by checking the "historic data analysis" option, or via an Azure Stream Analytics output, you can delete its rows using our REST API. You can start with our documentation here.

 

There is a similar thread you can considerate: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Clear-data-from-Streaming-API-dataset/td-p/145134.
