Solved: Deleting a Power BI Workspace but keeping the Offi... - Page 2

kevinerikwhite · ‎10-24-2018

We are hoping to clean up the numerous duplicate Power BI Workspaces that were created when everyone was allowed to create a workspace on a whim. We did it to one Workspace and found out that it deleted the entire 365 group and associated sharepoint and other files they wanted to keep.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Is there a way to simply delete the workspace but keep the Microsoft 365 group and everything that goes along with that?

Creating a classic workspace binds it to an O365 group. New workspaces are not linked (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-create-the-new-workspaces). Convert the classic workspace to a new workspace, delete the workspace to leave the O365 group, SharePoint site and Teams team unaffected:

Workspace

Edit this workspace
Advanced
Upgrade now

Workspace settings
Delete workspace

You must be an admin of the workspace.
