Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have a python job that is saving the outputs into a specific folder named "Outgoing" in a SharePoint Document Library.

I intend to use P Automate to run a script each 'x' days to : Identify any files/folders that meet the criteria (+30 days since creation) and delete those files/folders.

When I run the P Automate flow with the Get File (Properties Only) the flow outputs are displaying every other folders in the site library other than "outgoing" any help would be appreciated to trouble shoot why the folder isn't visible in the PA Outputs.

In addition to the above, if I use the Get Folder Meta Data followed by List Folder - I am able to see the folder names in the path.

Thanks

Building flows

It's hard to offer any specific recommendations without seeing your full flow and the logic behind it. If you are using the new designer, toggle it off and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode.

Fun fact. The Get Files (properties only) returns folders as well. You need to use a Filter Query to return Files only. Refer to this YT Short. This action will only return 100 files/folders by default unless you toggle on pagination.
