Problems with Editing Credentials

Hello,

 

I have a Desktop Report and associated files stored in my OneDrive for Business.  I am trying to do a package refresh but am having trouble with the credentials.  This Report, as far as I can tell, doesn't link to any off line reports at all (it did whilst I was building the report initially, but those data sources have since been amended to OneDrive files) Despite this, it is asking me to edit credentials for my H: drive and utilise a Gateway, which I do not want to do.  Any thoughts on why it would be asking me to do this and how I can resolve?

I managed to get it working by refreshing my desktop file, and then saving, dragging and dropping it back into OneDrive.  I don't know whether there was some sort of phantom credentials which didn't get updated after I changed them, but the offline refresh seems to have done the trick
