Shared Dataset is being connected to a report in personal My Workspace where user left the company

[van1111]

Hello Community,

We have a Shared Dataset in a Premium Workspace (new workspace experience) which is being connected to a Report in personal "My Workspace". However, the user who owns that personal My Workspace has left the company.

The Shared Dataset is considered obsolate but cannot be deleted due to having connection to the Report in that personal My Workspace.

Checking on the Workspace section in the Admin Portal, that Personal Workspace is still having "Active" status.

Q1: Is there a way to remove that personal My Workspace, or disconnect the dataset with the Report? (Not seeing that option on Admin Portal 😞

Q2: Is there a timeline, where the personal My Workspace will be permantely deleted after user left the company?

Thanks and appreciate any help on this!

Regards,

Vanessa

No. Personal My workspace can't be deleted.

If the user's account hasn't been deleted, try to reset the password of the user's account in Microsoft 365 admin center. Then login to the account, delete the report.

If the user's account has been deleted, try to restore the account and login to the account, delete the report.

No. The personal my workspace will always be active.
