Unable to delete a custom connector

(0) Share

Posted on by alexgor87

Hi, I want to delete a custom connector.
- I removed all connections and flows that were using my custom connector.
- Then I go to Custom Connectors, and hit Delete - I can see the message "This custom connector may be required for some flows or apps. Deleting it will delete all the connections that use it."
- I press OK and the connector disappears.

- But when I refresh the browser page it appears again and I can't find the way to delete it.

Is this a bug?
Thanks!

Hey @alexgor87 - Try using PowerShell -

Remove-AdminPowerAppConnector -EnvironmentName [Guid] -ConnectorName shared_testapi2.[Guid]

Update: it turned out, that the custom connector was automatically added to the Default Solution of the Default Environment, and I don't have permissions to delete it from there. Now I need to contact admins to clean it up there first.

Maybe a bit late but hopefully for the benefit of others who end up here:
I don't have the solution but a hint: Everything you create in custom solutions is automatically added to the default solution. That's the way solutions work.

I encountered exactly same situation as OP. The problem is the Power Automate website didn't provide the actual error message and pretend the job is done.

I run the PowerShell Remove-AdminPowerAppConnector and I got the error details.
The error I got is :

Error : @{code=CannotDeleteApiDueToExistingConnections; message=The custom connector
xxxx-20api-20test-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cannot be deleted because there are
connections associated with this api.}

So I delete all the associated connections and then delete the custom connector again at Custom Connector page. This time the deletion is success and didn't come back after refresh.
