    Hi,
     
    In Power Automate Desktop, use "Delete Files in Folder" action.
     
    Drag folder path from SharePoint connector get via List Folders, set "Include Subfolders" to Yes if needed, then run.
     
    If folder has files, first use "Delete All Files in Folder" action to empty it.
     
    Alternative: "Invoke Web Service" with SharePoint REST API DELETE call to _api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/path/to/folder').
    Always check "Folder Exists" first to avoid errors.
