Deleted main dataset
I just had this exact same problem! I think there is something wrong with the current versions of the Desktop as in the past you could point to another dataset if you blew away the source file.
This seems to be a recurring issue as I found this thread from 2017:
The only solution I could come up with was rolling back the Desktop version. I used version May 2019 and I was able to point the reports to the republished data source. You may be able to use a later version but this was the one I had lying around.
Good luck!

Anonymous thanks for your quick reply. I'm dying inside.. Where do I find a May 2019 (or earlier) version of power BI??
Edit. I found a link
