Most effective way to clean data?

Hi,

 

I've recently started transfering data from the CRM into Power BI and it literally brought in everything. There are 500+ tables that have been transfered. I'm playing around with a table that I will be using quite frequently but it's got 498 columns and most of that is full of null values.

 

Is there a more effective way of clensing the data or do I need to manually delete 470 columns?

 

Thanks

@michael_knight You can control click the columns you want to keep, right click the header and "remove other columns"
