Data source in Purview was removed successful but the assets still show in the Collection that I created during scan from this datasourceurce

I deleted one of data source in Purview successfully however the assets still listed in the Collection that I created, and I cannot find the way to remove these assets (more than 5,000 k) at one click. As I understand that when I deleted data source, the assets that associated to this data source should be deleted as well but not.

@phemanth Alternatively, I follow solution#3 it works as the number of assets reduce more than half of the assess (199 pages to 67 pages), so I selected this solution delete page by page, which took me about 5 minutes. However, it would be good if Purview developers team includes the feature in Purview would be more convenient for Purview users who doesn't know coding language.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

In Microsoft Purview, deleting a data source doesn’t automatically remove the associated assets from the catalog. You’ll need to manually delete them.

Here are a few steps you can try:

Manual Deletion: If you have the data curator role, you can manually delete assets by selecting the delete icon under the asset’s name. However, this might not be practical for a large number of assets.

Bulk Deletion via API: You can use the Microsoft Purview Atlas APIs to delete multiple assets at once. This might be more efficient given the large number of assets you need to remove.

Full Scan: Running a full scan on the source from which the assets were ingested can help update the catalog and remove assets that no longer exist in the source

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

@phemanth Many thanks for your advice. I foresee solution #2 would solve my issue but I have no background of the coding of the suggested solution, and I need to get Purview Automation install first. It will need a support from my colleague before I can give you more feedback.
