To unpublish something from the Desktop, you delete the dataset on the service. It will remove the report and related dashboard object, if any.

 

To delete a dataset in an app, you need to remove it from the app, or delete the app, then remove the dataset.

 

You cannot delete/unpublish from the desktop app. Has to be done on the service.

Hi edhans ,

 

I deleted the Test Report, but the dataset is still there and can't be deleted unless I "Unpublish" the report.

    Do you mean published to the web from the service? See this thread.

      I've tried it but as I do it, I do not have embedded codes to remove.

        That's the limit of my knowledge on this. I've never seen that error. It seems you have this report published/linked somewhere that the service is tracking.

         

        Do you have another report in the same workspace using that dataset? Or even stranger, an Excel workbook in the service that is linked to this report through the Analyze in Excel feature?
