Hi, I have one issue, which is disturbing me time and again as mentioned in the subject.
When I click on 3 vertical dots (which is there after the last visual), We get 4 options on Power BI Desktop which are Get more visuals , Import a visual from a file , Remove a visual and Restore Default Visuals Respectively.
When I click on Remove a visual option, It gives options to remove visuals and they get successfully removed on click.
The main issue is when I save the report and reopen it, they come back again and don't disappear.
Courtesy of this issue, The Desktop becomes messy and it's really tough to drag and drop columns into the shelf.
Please help me out in this regard.
Thanks & Regards
Rajat
what kinds of visuals are you trying to remove? You can only remove custom visuals that you have added earlier. You can't remove standard visuals.
Hi, Very Good Evening, I was trying to remove only custom visuals, not the standard ones, but still the issue was coming repeatedly, i.e after saving, they come back again
Hi @Ra2819 , lbendlin, thank you for your prompt reply!
What desktop version are you using? Per my test, I am using the latest version and the issue does not happen.
I also publish the report with the custom visual to the service, then edit and remove the custom visual in the service, save the report and open it again and the custom visual is successfully deleted.
We suggest you upgrade it to the latest version then check the result again.
Best regards,
Joyce
