  1. From the QuickSight home page, click on Manage data.

  3. For this demonstration, let's select the S3 data set named USACensus-S3-DataSet, as shown in the following screenshot:

  5. If you select Delete data set, you will get a warning regarding related analyses that will be impacted. The analysis will not be deleted, but the next time you use such an analysis, you will be prompted to select a new data set to enable visualizations. Click on Delete if you really wish to delete or Cancel to skip the delete.
