Power BI Report Cleanup Just Leveled Up (Duplicate Images, Orphans, Saved Scripts)

Video by: Reid Havens

Power BI reports quietly accumulate junk. Duplicate images. Orphaned files. Saved DAX and TMDL scripts that were never meant to ship.

In this video, I walk through the Report Cleanup enhancements in AE Power BI Multi-Tool Suite v2.0, focusing on how the tool helps you clean development artifacts safely and measurably before publishing.

You’ll see how the tool:

  • Detects duplicate images using MD5 hashing and consolidates references

  • Finds and removes unused and orphaned images across PBIP files

  • Cleans up saved DAX queries and TMDL scripts left behind by Desktop tooling

  • Reports exact size savings so you know what you actually gained

These are artifacts created during real development workflows. They’re invisible in Desktop, but they absolutely matter for repo hygiene, file size, and long-term maintainability.

This is about shipping cleaner, leaner Power BI reports without guessing or manually editing JSON files like a raccoon in a data dumpster.
