    Well... exporting the JSON and re-importing it made the Web source go away. Still not sure where that web source came from (originally I tried using Excel on OneDrive as a source but I never selected a file so I did not expect this to create a source entry) but this issue is fixed now.

Hello Denis,selimovd 

I am also currently having trouble with this same issue. In my case I'm connected to SmartSheet and Sharepoint as a source and there should be no web connections. However, I still see a web connection in the flow just as pictured above. I checked the advanced editors in the querries and none of them display a web connection at all. I only see the SmartSheet and Sharepoint connections as the source. 

 

The data source connection for web connection is failing now displaying this error "Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the Web source are invalid."  It, as a result, seems to also be preventing the dataflow itself to refresh or save any changes at all. 

 

Thanks for any ideas/ solutions you might be able to assist with.
