How to Delete Old Data Set?
Was having the same issue but figured it out.
- Goto the workspace (also referred to the app)
- On top right click on eclipses (...)
- Select "Unpublish App"
- Now go to your dataset and delete and confirm
- Click on the workspace eclipses again
- Select Edit Workspace
- Publish app again

This worked for me, but I wanted to offer a word of warning: Unpublishing the app will erase all your settings for that app, including access and navigation. You might want to screenshot or take note of your settings before you unpublish.

I tested this:
I have an app workspace that contains two datasets named dataset10 and dataset20.
Dataset10 connects to a Microsoft Azure SQL database.
Dataset20 connects to a Microsoft Excel file stored in Microsoft OneDrive for Business.I create a report named Report10 that uses dataset10 and pinned Report10 to a dashboard named Dashboard10.
I published the app workspace to all the users in your organization.
Now I realised that I am not using dataset20 anywhere and I need to delete dataset20 from the app workspace.
What should I do first?
1-Unpublish the app.
2-Delete Dataset20
3-Edit Workspace
4-Publish App again - alexrobe6 years agoAdvocate III
As I found contradictory Info in the web: Do you lose any App-settings when you do the unpublish-republish cycle (user settings, subscriptions, shares...)
Thanks,
Alex

Hi SandyBL,
I was facing the same issue. Followed your steps exactly till Point 4. But unable to perform later steps. The workspace eclipses vanished. I dont see an option to "Publish app" again!
How does this affect. What should I do to re enable it ? Please let me know.
Thanks!
