MS Flow or Power Automate SharePoint Delete Action limited to only 100 items per run

Greetings,

I am not sure if this is a limitation of Flow or Power Automate but it looks like the SharePoint Deletion Item is limited to delete only 100 items per run. Can someone please confirm my assumption? If so, is there anyway I can get around this?

I have a flow that queries item created dates older than a specific then deletes them. There is a log list that I have created to log my flows and currently it has over 41,000 items. This of course causes an issue because it exceeds the 5000 list view threshold so I am just trying to programmatically clean it up. After building out my clean flow and viewing the history, I see that it will only delete 100 items at a time.

Hi @thoang858, to overcome the 100 limit, click on the 3 dots next to the Get items and select Settings. Then turn on pagination and set the threshold to 1000 or 5000 or whatever figure you need. I've only ever had to do it on a document library that had about 200 items where it worked perfectly. But it should be fine for much larger libraries.
