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.
 
How to create new list when Power Fx is enabled in Power Automate Desktop?

    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.

    Hi,
     
    Seems like ClearCollect is not supported for Desktop flows which is seen from documentation ?
     
     
    Also try this to create new list /collection?
