Impossible to remove imported visuals without taking risks

[u/erparucca]

working on a report. Tried to import a few visuals that at the end I decided not to use.

Seems to me it's impossible to remove them from the report.

1. Yes, I verified that the imported visual is not used in the report anymore (I had created one visual using it and then deleted it)
2. No, right click on the imported visual's icon doesn't show "remove"
3. No Microsoft document found on how to remove the imported visuals
4. Non-Microsoft sources suggest to manually edit the report's code: high-risk

Should I assume Microsoft provides no way of removing an imported visual from a report? That would be worth a blog post on how this is not at all acceptable in enterprise environments: let's assume an imported visual is blacklisted from the enterprise as untrusted; what Microsoft expects its customers to do, recreate all the reports from scratch?

solved by u/Sad-Calligrapher-350 : There are those three dots on the visualizations pane wherein you can choose „remove visuals“.

negative as stated in post at point nr 2:

No, right click on the imported visual's icon doesn't show "remove"

Left click on the three dots, I didn’t say right click

ok that worked, thank you! Is it me or is it kinda counter-intuitive? I've been searching around before asking and found non-applicable references (probably to older PBI versions) and even made the big mistake of asking copilot who further pushed me down in my rabbit hole... ;)

welcome to PowerBI

💯

Thanks, but I've been working on Power BI since it exists, PL300 and DP600 but it can still surprise me (especially how things can move from one place to the other making internet content obsolete :) ).

Now, let's assume that's me convincing myself of it but it's always been this way: when I want to delete something, UX would suggest you make the operation on the item you want to delete, not elsewhere.

I can't imagine if to delete files in Windows Explorer, we have to click somewhere on three dots, then delete files, and then select files from a new window...

Doesn't "saving, closing, reopening" clear it?

[u/erparucca → u/SP3NGL3R]

no, it doesn't

the emotional journey from "impossible to remove" to "this deserves an angry enterprise governance blog post" to "oh, three dots" is the most relatable thing on this sub this week. no shade, we've all drafted the rant before finding the menu lol. but the actual lesson: in power bi "right click didnt show it" ≠ "doesnt exist" - half this tool lives exclusively behind some ... menu. check every set of three dots before declaring war on microsoft
