Does anyone know if there is a working method to clear (to blank) a single people picker field in an update Singlepoint process within flows?

What have you tried so far?
Do you get errors just setting it to ' ' or to a String Variable with no value?

Blimey that's convoluted. I'll give it a go in the morning and let you know how I get on

No- that didn't work.
As I am using non multiple I used the first video.

After a bit of configuring I got it all correct but it failed:
Error Message:

A 'PrimitiveValue' node with non-null value was found when trying to read the value of a navigation property; however, a 'StartArray' node, a 'StartObject' node, or a 'PrimitiveValue' node with null value was expected.

I've used both getbytitle and GetByTile

{
'__metadata':{'type':'SP.Data.ApprovalsListItem'},
'EnHApprover':-1
}
