    I'd like to remove a data source connection for a SSAS cube that has been moved to a different server, but I don't see a way to do this. Am I just missing something? If not, I see the data source list quickly filling up with connections that are no longer working. It's also difficult for my customers to determine which connection they should actually use.

    Hi Justin .We're definitely planning to allow this soon! Stay tuned and you should see it appear in the coming weeks!

    Agree. I desperately need the ability to connect to multiple Salesforce orgs. Currently I don't think that there's a way to switch between them or to even remove one and add another.

    I have the same issue. I uninstalled the connector for the connection I want to remove, but it still shows up.

    Hey Justin,
    to remove the connection name from the list, uninstall the appropriate Connector. This will remove the entry from the list in the Get Data page of Power BI.
    To answer your first question, we are looking at ways to change the server name when the server is moved to a different machine. I do not yet have a timeline to share, but we'll get to it soon.

    Thanks,
    Mini
