Delete a visual from a page

This tool permanently removes a visual (chart, table, or other report element) from a Power BI report page. Deletion is irreversible without undo capability or backup restoration. While the blast radius is limited to a single report component rather than data itself, the action cannot be undone through the tool's normal operation, classifying it as Destructive rather than Write.
