Currently there does not seem to be anyway to delete a Gateway or a data source. Due to changes in the location of the data source I have added additional data sources. The old ones are not needed. Why can't I delete them. Also the Gateway itself - If I move this I need to be able to delete the old one.

You can already do this. If you're an admin on the Gateway, have over the name of the Data Source or Gateway, you can see "..." , click on it and it will give you an option to delete/Remove them.

RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources
OMG thank you all! Wasted so much time trying to figure this out.
RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources
Thank you - that worked for me: "hover over the Data Source and you can see the ellipsis..."
RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources
I don't suppose there is a keyboard shortcut for this is there?

"hover over the Data Source and you can see the ellipsis..."
For me, that ellipsis does not appear unless you hover over the SPOT where said ellipsis will show up. In other words, you need to hover over the very far right portion of the name box, not over the name itself.
How about adding something like a right-click context menu here?

My first 3 hours with Power BI. This is madness...
RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources
This is crazy ..... I have spent untold wasted time trying to find a way to delete an obsolete gateway (obsolete because microsoft updates have stopped them working!!)
There is NO indication that the elipses are there at all....... thank you everyone for enlightening me x
RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources
For anyone else wondering why they can't get the three dots, you hover over the end of the highlighted area (where the three dots would be expected to appear) and there they are.
(thank you anomymous!)
RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources
Show the 3 dots permanently. Bad decision to only show them on hover, as I'd have to already know about them to use them. Don't make the learning curve more than it needs to be.
RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources
I can't see any ellipses, dots, anything! So frustrating. Can someone post a screen shot.
