How long does it take for a dashboard to disappear from "My Workspace" ?

[ricky23]

A user A had shared 3 dashboards with User B. Now User B can access those dashboards under "My Workspace".

 If user A deletes all the 3 dashboards that he shared with User B, how long would it take for the Dashboards to disappear from User B's "My Workspace"?

@ricky23 How did they "share"? If you share a report or dashboard it would never show up in "My Workspace" it would show up in "Shared with Me" - if it is in that persons workspace, then they got ahold of the PBIX files and uploaded the reports themselves... or did something out of the ordinary (content pack)

Hi @Seth_C_Bauer ,

Correction, it was not on "My Workspace" but when clicking on the "Recent" tab. There were dashboards that were deleted by the owner 2 weeks ago but still show on the "Recent" tab.

So, how long does it take for the dashboard to be removed from the "Recent" tab?

@ricky23 Ah. i get it. From my experience, if a report author deletes a report or shared object without first deleting / removing the shared to users, it will still show up. I don't know the exact timing, but this indicates that there is a "soft" delete occuring here, and it is likely that after a certain period of time the actual delete of the object and all downstream sharing would be terminated... You'd have to contact support to be sure.
