How to remove dataset from Workspace that is used in another workspace?

[rodneyc8063]

I am having problems removing a dataset from one of my workspaces

So I have workspace A and workspace B

Workspace B has a dataset B

In workspace A I decide to import dataset B via "Get Data". I play around, create a report but I end up not liking it. So I remove the report. But the dataset B is still in my workspace A.

When I try to remove dataset B from my workspace A I hit an error saying

"Cant delete this dataset - At least one report outside of your workspace is using this dataset. To see dependent reports, open the Related content pane"

I know this particular dataset is in fact used in a seperate workspace. But to avoid clutter in my workspace A I would like to remove it

How do I go about removing this?

Hi there

In Workspace A, what if you go under Datasets and then try and remove the dataset there?

Are there any dashboards related to Dataset B?

@GilbertQThanks for the reply

In workspace A I did in fact go under Datasets - Right Click - Remove Dataset and it gives me the above error.

There is another dashboard/report using dataset B in workspace B- So I understand I cant completely "delete" the dataset since it is technically still being used.

But after importing the dataset into workspace A, its still stuck under my "datasets" section

Urgh

Just as I was writing the above post, I was recreating my issue and discovered what it is

So yesterday, I had imported dataset B into workspace A, created a report in workspace A and saved it.

I ended up not liking it, then I deleted the report in workspace A but for some reason dataset B was still "stuck" under my workspace A datasets.

I just literally logged out and logged back in, refreshed my browser and I see the dataset B is no longer listed in my workspace A.

I guess if I create a report with a dataset from a different workspace, then the report and that dataset is listed in workspace A. But once the report is deleted in workspace A, I need to refresh my browser/log out and then the dataset B will also dissapear on its own
