The API allows creation of a Dashboard in a workspace, but not deletion. Nor can I remove tiles from an existing dashboard. The PowerBI UI can do this, but appears to use a private API that accepts an integer ID that I don't have access to.
As a workaround the only thing I can do is delete and re-create the entire workspace. But that's no good because it will destroy other things in the workspace that I'm not supposed to be changing (I only want to programatically control some of the dashboards in the workspace).

RE: Delete a dashboard via the API
We need this feature as soon as possible as our automation efforts are heavily impacted.
RE: Delete a dashboard via the API
To really leverage the API it is essential to be able to delete dashboards in the same way as the user created them. For a couple of client engagements we need to redirect from our app to pbi service just for deleting dashboards. Really unsatisfying.
RE: Delete a dashboard via the API
I really don't see why it's not there yet. The delete feature should be added at the same time the create/clone feature is added.
RE: Delete a dashboard via the API
I Second this improvement. Automating deployments is missing some key features. We want continuous deployment in PowerBI (automated), but it is a hell of a job when features are missing
