If I add a custom visual from the Marketplace within Power BI Desktop and save the report, that visual gets added into the file, even if I never add the visual to any report pages. I can then right click on the custom visual in the visuals pane and delete it. It no longer appears in the visuals pane, as expected. However, if I rename the pbix to .zip, then open the file, I can see all of the file contents. Inside the zip, browse to \Report\CustomVisuals and you will see the name of the delete visual. I was able to delete the CustomVisuals folder from the zip (don't actually unzip, just delete directly from the compressed folder view) then rename to .pbix, the file still works properly. This seems like a bug.
