You don't need a flow to delete a SharePoint list item. You can do it with RemoveIf as described in this previous post.

@Veblitz Could you provide some screenshots of your "Remove" button formula and the flow structure?
Also, when clicking this button, what happens? Is the flow triggered and returning an error?

From a flow, you can either delete an item of a list, or delete only its attachments.
So you can use the [SharePoint - Delete item] action. It requires the site address, list name and item id.
As long as you can provide these data to the flow from your app, you can user as many [Delete item] actions as you need.

My understanding is that you need a flow with a PowerApps trigger, and then 5 [Delete item] actions.

Each of these actions refer to 1 list (that you detailed above).
Try it first with a hard-coded id and then replace that id by the "Ask in PowerApps" dynamic content.
This way "id" will become an argument that you can pass from your Power Apps form button.
Does it help?
