Can't delete a flow because of Dependencies

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 517

Hi,

I want to delete a flow but I can't do that because of Dependencies.

When I click on Show Dependencies, It shows me that my flow was used (btw -and created) by the canvas app. but I already remove it and I do not use it anymore in my canvas app.

I have no idea how I can handle this situation. Can someone help?

Thanks, dKayt

    Hi @dkayt  Just to be  double sure kindly check if the flow is being used in any of your copy app if not please do publish all customisation and then try and delete the flow and also check in default solution if any of the app exist that should resolve the issue ,accept my solution if you find it helpfull and if not close the browser try again

    Hi @Muzammil_069506 , thanks for replying.

    No chance. It's still there and it can't be deleted.

    See the screenshot below:

    I don't even understand the reason why I can see a Delete button but it deletes nothing 😕

    hey @dkayt 

     

    it looks like this is a better fit for the power automate community forum to be found here:

    Microsoft Power Automate Community - Power Platform Community

    Hi @dkayt  Please go to default solution and search by the name of dependencies under the app and check there once

    Hi @mmbr1606 , thank you for replying. Actually I'm trying to delete a flow, yes, BUT which was used (and created) from a canvas app. It makes sense for both forums. But yeah, I will open a new topic on that forum too 😉

    Thanks!

    Hi @dkayt ,

     

    Can you please open this canvas app and double check in the automate tab, if the flow is present there or not, and please click the broom icon(top right corner in automate tab) once to remove any unsed flow in the app then please save and publish your app then check if this dependency is there or not.

     

    sometimes power apps doesn't remove the flows properly if it is not properly saved and published. 

     

    Let me know how you get on with this
