Storage Location of Execution Logs for Power Automate Desktop Flows Run Manually

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
I would like to inquire about the storage location of execution logs for flows run manually in Power Automate Desktop (via the console interface).

I understand that flow configuration information is stored on OneDrive when created with a personal Microsoft account, and in Dataverse when created with an organizational or school account.

However, where are the various log files generated during the execution of Power Automate Desktop flows stored? I found that they are saved in the following local folder path:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop\Console\Scripts

Are these logs stored only in the local folder for all types of accounts (personal Microsoft accounts, organizational, or school accounts)?
Additionally, if the storage location differs depending on the license type (e.g., free or premium), could you please provide details on where the execution log files are saved for each license type?
Primarily, I would like to confirm whether execution log files are stored only locally or if they are automatically uploaded to OneDrive or Dataverse.

Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi freeks,
     
    My understanding is slightly different and same I have validated too. However, for personal accounts and even licensed organization or school accounts, the log files will be stored in the following folder path:

    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop\Console\Scripts

    The only difference is that if you have a license, your run history will be synced and stored in the Dataverse table. You will be able to see them in the Desktop flow run activity tab from the Power Automate Maker portal.
     

    Hope it helps!! Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Dear Deenuji_Loganathan,

    Thank you for your detailed response. I appreciate the clarification that execution logs are stored locally on the drive for all account types.
    I have a couple of follow-up questions regarding Dataverse synchronization:

    Clarification on licensing
    You mentioned that logs are synced to Dataverse if a license is held. Does this refer specifically to a paid license, such as Power Automate Premium? Or would other types of licenses (e.g., Microsoft 365 licenses with limited Power Automate capabilities) also enable this synchronization?
    Disabling synchronization
    Is it possible to disable the synchronization of execution logs to Dataverse? In cases where sensitive information is included in the flow execution, I would like to prevent such data from being uploaded to Dataverse. If disabling is an option, could you please provide guidance on how to configure this?
    Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to your advice.
    Best regards,
