    Hi Anonymous ,

    You can try the following method:

    1. Refer to the following post: How to Delete Old Data Set?

    1. Goto the workspace (also referred to the app)
    2. On top right click on eclipses (...)
    3. Select "Unpublish App"
    4. Now go to your dataset and delete and confirm
    5. Click on the workspace eclipses again
    6. Select Edit Workspace
    7. Publish app again

    2. Check if the dataset is part of one or more organizational content packs. If a dataset is part of one or more organizational content packs, the only way to delete it is to remove it from the content packs where it's being used, wait for it to be processed, and then try deleting it again.

    If not your case, I would like to suggest you create a support ticket to investigate the issue. Once you create a support ticket, please share the same here for reference.

    Best Regards,

I also had no apps published, but the first 3 steps of the previous answer fixed it for me. I know it makes no sense to unpublish the app when there isnt a published app, but it did work for me.
