Hi @12Bowers12 

In Power BI Service or Microsoft Fabric, if you're trying to delete an empty folder (sometimes called a workspace folder or subfolder in new navigation experiences), and you don’t see a Delete or Remove option, it’s likely because folders in Fabric are still evolving in terms of management features. Currently, deleting folders directly through the UI may not be available, especially if you're working in the new OneLake or Fabric workspace layout where folders act more like organizational groupings than standalone file-system folders. To work around this, try these steps: first, ensure the folder is truly empty (check for hidden items or data artifacts). Then, try switching to a different view, such as "List View" or "Data Hub," where folder management options may behave differently. If it’s a shortcut folder or linked artifact, try removing any linked connections. Also, ensure you have Admin or Member permissions on the workspace. If the option is still missing, it's possible that Microsoft has not yet exposed delete functionality for folders in your Fabric experience, and the best action would be to simply leave it empty, rename it, or track updates via the Microsoft Fabric roadmap or community.

Hi. You can find the remove setting at the three dots.

I hope that helps,
