Unable to Delete DataFlow

[EricQuan]

I am unable to delete 2 dataflows because it says it has a linked table. However, both dataflows are empty (no queries and no tables) as I had removed everything from them and there is no other items in my workspace. Yet, it still is unable to be deleted. Any help would be appreciated. I even tried doing it through the PowerBI REST API but continue to get the same message

The message it keeps giving me is "This dataflow can't be deleted because linked tables in this workspace are dependent on it. Please remove any linked tables from dependent dataflows and try again."

Hi @EricQuan ,

In order to make the further troubleshooting and give you a solution shortly, could you please provide the following info?

• Are you trying to delete the dataflow in Power BI Service?
• Are you the owner of the workspace where the dataflows are located?
• According to the error message, it seems that there are some other objects are dependent on it. If there are any reports, dashboards, or other dataflows in your workspace that are dependent on the dataflows you’re trying to delete, you’ll need to remove these dependencies first. Data lineage - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

@v-yiruan-msft 

1) Yes I am trying to delete the data flow from the workspace in the Power BI Service

2) Yes I am the owner of the workspace

3) There doesn't seem to be any other dependencies at all. The lineage views show nothing other than the 2 data flows and they are not connected to eachother
