    Hello!

     

    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, let us know if you have any questions!

I think I found a trick for this one (if you're talking about streaming dataset). You can disable Historic data analysis and re-enable it.

It looks like disabling clears the stored data.

    This worked for me. Turn off history, save, turn on history, save. Then refresh the displays.

    Thank you!
