Hi @hkallen

You might want to consider using the ODATA filters for a better and fast flow automation rather than getting a list of all the files and performaing operations on those. A perfect guide to ODATA filters is here:

https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/advanced-flow-of-the-week-filtering-with-odata/

You can use the startswith or substirng etc. functions for the file name and the date filter function in the same filter query.

Hope this Helps!
