Colin-I deleted the Identity profile from the gui/tenant and now I am trying to delete the source from postman and its saying the Identity Profile is still there? Why is this source not able to be removed and what is the work around?

The source in question is being used by one or more identity profiles. You will need to check the mappings in your identity profiles to find any mappings that are referencing that source. You’ll also need to check any transform logic that may be referencing that source.

It’s been removed. It wasn’t fully removed for some reason and this was preventing me from deleting the source. Thanks
