Power BI file deleted from SharePoint folder
Hi GilbertQ. Thanks for your interest. The SharePoint file that was deleted from where I put it, was in the recycle bin and so I recovered it.
That feels like little consolation when what I put in SharePoint is deleted without me intending it to be deleted.
I feel I cannot trust Power BI to save to the SharePoint folder the file originated from.
Hi mraabe
Can you go look in the recovered items in Sharepoint Online to see if the file exists in there?

Hi mraabe
Thank you for the update, and I'm glad you were able to recover the file from the SharePoint Recycle Bin.
I understand why this would be concerning. Based on what you've described, this is not expected behavior Power BI Desktop should not normally delete the source .pbix file from a SharePoint document library during save or publish operations.
