Remove Broken Database Connections in ArcGIS Pro

Question

Hello,

I received a new computer recently and opened up an existing ArcGIS Pro project, a number of my SDE database connections were broken in the Catalog Pane and View. It wouldn't let me reset the sources of the bad connections, so I just added new connections. Also, when I go to remove the  bad connections, the remove is grayed out (see attached screen shot). Does anyone know how to remove these connections? I am currently running ArcGIS Pro 2.5.0.

Thank you,

Nick

You can remove specific connections by delete the corresponding .SDE files located at:

C:\users\<your_user_name>\Documents\ArcGIS\Projects

If the connection still remains after that, right click it from ArcGIS Pro and select "Remove".

What if you try "Connection Properties" and modify it to correct properties.
