How do I delete "zombie" databases in dataflows?

I've waited a few days, hoping these would go away, but they haven't.  I've restarted the capacity a few times also.

 

This is in the Power BI dataflows connector:

Does anyone know how to remove these?  Thank you.

You should be able to delete the dataflows in the workspace where they are created, if you are an Admin or Member of that workspace I believe.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, these dataflows do not appear in the Dataflows tab in the Workspace.  They were originally called something else: dataflows I deleted...however the database of the Enhanced Compute Engine maybe wasn't dropped? (just a guess).
