Hi all,
How can I remove a datasource in service? It is not used any more. Thanks for your help.
Interesting question. I have wanted to remove outdated data sources myself. There is no obvious way in the Admin portal.as you might use to delete Embed Codes.
Results in the Microsoft blog are all over the place, several workarounds are suggested. If you have more than one PBIX in the workspace, it’s going to be tricky to expunge every reference. Good luck.

1. Got to Query Editor
2. Open Data Source Settings
3. Select the source to be removed
4. Select “Change Source”
5. change the source to be the same location as one of your other sources.
My situation was one source was a local copy of a Sharepoint file, the other was the sharepoint URL.
6. Click OK to accept the change.
7. Power BI recognised the duplication and removed the duplicate entry.
