Data Flow Old Data Source Credentials with errors

I attempted to add some data from a data lake which didnt work so I got rid. However I have been left with incorrect credentials

that means 

Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid. Please update your credentials and try again.

This isnt in the report any more. How do I get rid of them so that I can carry on with all the valid information?

HI @DebbieE ,

It sounds like you have modified on your dataflow entities to remove some tables, then these removed tables still appeared in your data credentials? Are there any merge or reference operations in other query tables?

No, no references to the table. I never used it because I couldnt add it due to the connector not being available so I didnt get that far. I was trying to add it as a text file when it was in a Data Lake Gen 2 Storage

HI @DebbieE ,

It sounds like related to power bi service backend reasons, I'd like to suggest you open a support ticket for further support.

@DebbieE Was an issue ever created for this that I can track? I am experiencing this same issue where I cannot remove old credentials that are for data sources no longer used anywhere.

I dont think I got round to creating a support ticket. I think I gave up and moved on unfortunately
