Reports not visible in portal, but returns in admin API calls

I have a v2 workspace.

via app.powerbi.com I can see 3 reports, 2 manually created and 1 usage report.

When I use the Admin API GetReportsInGroupAsAdmin I get many more results.

Screenshots below (the API is used to feed a power BI report to get these results)

 

Why are these reports not visible in the workspace via the portal?

I am tenant admin and workspace admin.

 

Further, I can open the 1 visible usage metrics report, "save as", it says successfully saved but does not appear in the list. I suspect that's how all these "invisible" reports showed up.

I suspect all those extra reports you see are previously deleted reports. 

Since you have Workspace IDs and Report IDs for all those extra reports, try to form a URL like below and see if you can still access those reports.

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/<Replace Workspace ID>/reports/<Replace Report ID>

 

This could be due to refresh issues that it still contains stale data. Follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the below doc and see if that helps you in resolving the issue.

Good call. I was unable to access the report via URL creation, it says report is either deleted or do not have access.

I assume since I am workspace admin, they are deleted reports (Though I'm not sure why they were deleted, I did not delete them)

How long will the report stay in the list of returned results via admin API?

I'd like to get a "current state" and don't really care about deleted reports.

There doesn't appear to be a "Status" column in the JSON response of the report API.
