Based on Power Fx in desktop flows (preview) - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn, when enabling Power Fx in Power Automate Desktop, we can use ClearCollect to create new list.
 
But it throw error for ClearCollect when I use same code from Collect, Clear, and ClearCollect functions - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn.

    Can you share a screenshot of the action that you're using it in, so we can see the syntax? Also a screenshot of the error that you're getting.
