Some time ago I gave it a try to add a virtual table to my dataverse. I followed the steps from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/virtual-entities/create-virtual-tables-using-connectors?tabs=sql
I added the connector, created a connection and tried creating a virtual table.
But now I cannot delete the virtual entity data source because of dependencies (Advanced Settings > Administration > Virtual Entity Data Sources).
When I try to delete the virtual table I again get the message that deletion is impossible because of dependencies. This time reverring to Microsoft.Xrm.DataProvider.Connector.Plugins.ConnectorGenerateVEPlugin.
How can I remove a virtual table?
Hi @ellenheijmans2, I found the issue. Go into Solutions and then search for the first item on your list (note, it may be in your default solution). That is a plugin that is working with the Entity Catalog and must be deleted before the Entity Catalog table can be deleted.
I see a Virtual Connector Provider in de Default Solution, but I cannot delete it because of, gues what, dependencies.
I think the problem is that I first removed the connection, before removing the table. Somehow the table still refers to a connection that is long gone. So i can't remove the table because it still thinks it's connected, and I can't remove the connection because it's already deleted.
Maybe if I had done it the other way around, I wouldn't have had this problem.
Some things I would check:
Doesn't matter where I check it, it says the same. There are dependencies. But these connections I have are removed before.
Hope you are doing good.
Try below steps on how to check Virtual Tables.
1. Navigate to https://make.powerapps.com
2. Click Gear Icon at the Top
3. Select Advance Settings
4. It will open a Pop Up now Select Settings --> Select Customization
5. Then Select Customize the System
6. It will Open a Pop Up --> Expand Entities --> Now You need to Click on ENTITY Name(Consider if the Table is Account then you need to select Account)
7. Then Check the Virtual Entities there.

That's wat I did. Than it says that the dependency is Microsoft.Xrm.DataProvider.Connector.Plugins.ConnectorGenerateVEPlugin. No idea where to find it.
I first removed all connections in make.powerapps.com optie Dataverse, Connections that used the virtual connector.
Then I went to Advanced Settings > Administration > Virtual Entity Data Sources and tried to remove it. But I can't because of dependencies to the table I'm trying to remove, it says.
It's what we Dutch call an chicken and egg problem.
Hello, @EllenHeijmans, you will have to remove all those dependencies firs. From with in the solution where you have this virtual table, select the table > click advanced > show dependencies.
Track down those dependencies and remove them for you to be able to delete the table.
