Hello:

Does anybody know how to create a Flow that identifies specific files in a SharePoint folder, with a condition that 445082 is in the file name, and then delete it from Sharepoint?

What I have so far:

I'm stumped. It looks like it wants me to specify a file to delete, but, I've already done so in the conditions section? How do I delete files that match the condition? Thanks!!

Hi @mwolf222,

Do you want to delete the file if the file name contains “445082” when a new file is created in a SharePoint library?

Or delete all files whose file name contains “445082” within a SharePoint library?

If you want to delete the file whose file name contains “445082” when a new file is created, please take a try with the following workaround:

Note: Within “Delete file” action, specify Site Address, File Identifier field set to File identifier dynamic content of the trigger.

The flow works successfully as below:

If you want to delete all files whose file name contains “445082” within a SharePoint library, please take a try with the following workaround:

Note: Within “Delete file” action, specify Site Address, File Identifier field set to identifier dynamic content of “Get files (properties only)” action.

The flow works successfully as below:

Best regards,

Kris
