Organizations need the ability to delete "orphaned" content packs where the owner (creator or workspace) no longer exists in the organization; possibly as an Admin role. When an employee leaves or group is removed, created content packs are still visible within My Organization and can not be deleted (only allowed by owner).

Seeing the same problem with "orphan" apps with old data that can't be removed from the Organizational Apps area.

The same problem with an APP.

Same issue for our Organization. This is a flaw in my opinion. The new APP workspaces will not create an Office 365 Group so that will resolve this issue.

As it is now, you must always delete the workspace in the Power BI service before deleting the Office 365 Group.

We have the same problem, created content pack to test how does it works. Now unable to delete it.
Is there any way to delete it.

This has become a real issue in our organization...not being able to delete a content pack. Remarkable to me that there is no solution to this.

We have the same problem. We cannot edit nor delete the pack and it is creating confusion for our users.
