Delete File over SFTP

Posted on by MarioOntario

I have a fairly simple flow. It fetches a new file that appears in the SFTP directory and then copies it to SharePoint. This part work as expected, however, I want to remove this file from SFTP server after copying to SharePoint is done. I appended one step to my flow, SFTP Delete file:

flow flow

Once it is executed, it executes all steps but the last one. It's greyed out and nothing happens on the SFTP side. Flow status is running but nothing gets removed from SFTP. In Delete File parameters File I tried to pass the file path and file ID (from step one). Both don't work. Any hints how to move on?

Re: Delete File over SFTP

@MarioOntario Hi Maria, did you check the option ''Skip delete if file not found" ? If you did, this may be the cause of the gray box. It might have skipped the deletion of your file because it couldn't find the SFTP file.
