Unable to remove 'Power BI dataflows' data source from PBI Desktop

Hi,

 

I am unable to remove an unknown data source from my report that I don't remember adding. I also do not see any reference to it anywhere.

I click 'clear permissions' and then delete, however it remains. It is causing issues when my dataset is trying to refresh via the portal as it doesn't like that data source.

Hi. You should re check again all the steps of power query for all the tables. Because if it not getting out of there when you delete the credentials, it might be because you are using it on a step. Hope you find it.
