    Hi @BEkmez ,

    Hope that can help you solve your problem.

     

    Here is a link for your reference:

    Solved: Deleted flow still running - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

     


    If the method in this link does not work for you, try disconnecting the connector of the Flow trigger.

    Thank you. Thankfully the flow stopped by itself. I will have to figure out what I did wrong.

    Next time, before deleting the Flow, take a look at the Flows property page (where the owners, etc. are shown).  Running instances of the Flow will be listed there and can be cancelled.

    Thank you. I will have a look in future flows. The new one seems to be working fine so far.

    Yes, I know the feeling. If you deleted the flow you can unfortunatly only wait.
