Delete Oldest Files if count is greater than 240

Posted on by Skybluekid 256

Hi I have the below flow, which should delete the oldest files if the folder count is greater than 240.

It works ok, until the delete part, where it says that it cant find the ID to delete.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    Try it and post your results. Not being able to see what you've actually written is something of a disadvantage.

    I would just try selecting Identifier from the dynamic inputs.

    Hi @annetoal

     

    I am using ID.  

    Would this be the answer: first(body('Get_files_(properties_only)')?['value'])?['{Identifier}'] ?

    Are you using ID or Identifier?
