Default How do I stop using data source no longer needed for charts?

HOW DO I DELETE AN AUTOMATIC LINK which is no longer there?
I have copied a chart from one workbook to create a new workbook. Now it
always says this wkbk contains automatic links to information in another
workbook.

Do you have any text that's linked to a worksheet? Axis or chart title,
data label, textbox?
