    The only way to do this that I have found is to enable PowerFX when creating the desktop flow.  If you do that you can set the Replace with text to the Power FX Blank() function. That prevents the error because Replace with has something, but its an empty string.

    In regular flow you can replace with empty(so essentially remove the value being found) with just empty string: %''%

    In this example I will remove empty space from "test test"


    And returning value is: testtest
