I have some time ago created a Scorecard on Metrics (previous Goals) and recently decided to delete it. After that, each day numerous times I get my inbox floded with mails that a Metric has failed to refresh on that scorecard (which I have deleted). I looked through datasets and in the scorecard menu, I don't have that scorecard anymore, I can't find anything that would look like something connected to it so I don't get where do these refresh fails are comming from.

Seems the problem was solved on Microsoft side and it just stopped by itself

Hi ginskr! Be sure you have deleted the dataset of the scorecard. When you create Metrics two contents are created. One it's the scorecard with goals and another one is the dataset. E.g.

You must delete the dataset in order to completely remove it. Otherwise it will continue refreshing a model without the Metrics.

I hope that helps,

  Hi ibarrau, yep I deleted the dataset as well, but that doesn not help. I see someone else has the same problem too: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Deleted-Scorecard-still-sending-failed-refresh-emails-nonstop/idi-p/2690054
  
  which means it can only be a bug

    Ok that's weird. Maybe you can try navigating the tenant. I'm thinking that if it's really there. The API should shown it. You probably can use cmdlets with powershell or any other language code requesting the Power Bi Rest API.
    
    There are requests about scorecards: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/scorecards_(preview)
    
    You might be able to "get" them and check if it's there. If you can find it, there is also a "delete" request to remove it.
    
    I hope that helps as alternative
