Hello,

i try to delete an table in dataverse.

It always tells me that there is a dependence to a process, so the table can not be deleted.

But i now 100% that the flow does not use the table.

Publishing all cusomizations does not help.

Any idea how i can refresh it, that power apps realizes that the rable is no longer used?

HI @SLMR , Can you confirm on below:
What do you see when you click on Show dependencies?

@SLMR , Somehow it is using the table may be indirectly. You need to check each and every actions of flow.

I looked at all steps and the flow does not use the table.

The flow was created from another flow by "save as".
Then i modified the flow.
The original flow used the table.
But this flow a 100% not and the flow is working correctly.

It seems that power apps has kept some information that are no longer valid

hello @ANB
I have the problem with different tables.
In the flows they do not longer appear.
Anyway these flows are called from Buisness Process flows.
Maybe this is the problem.
But i do not know how to reset or tell power apps that the tables are no longer used.
I have run the BPF's with the flows so power apps should know they tables are not longer used.

Any ida how i can reset it?
I want to import the solution on a customer system, but i do not want to inlcude tables that are no longer used

@SLMR Apologies ! But even I dont have any answer as of now, but why do you want to delete the table instead just remove the table from solution and then export it.

Because solution check tells me "The solution.xml for the solution SIBA_Tool contains an unmanged...
It will not import as it thinks it needs the table.
I think i could just delete the dependency message from the solution.xml before importing.

But i am not happy with it.
I think i will delete the flow and build it new.
hope this solves the problem.
Anyway thanks for your help @ANB

If you @ANB want to know how you can waste half a working day:
I had an ond flow that spelled the same way, except one charackter.
And this flow was even no longer part of my solution.
So i did not see it.

Now everything is ok.
