Where do deleted files go?

Posted on by

I had a desktop flow empty a folder. While it was emptying the folder, the flow encountered an error (I had one of the files open) and threw an error. 2 of the files in the folder were (apparently) deleted before the error occurred, but I can't find the deleted files anywhere. They aren't in my recycle bin with the other files that I deleted manually. Does anybody know where the files that Power Automate deleted would have went?

    Hi @justinvKHSA 

     

    I think that is permanently deleted from computer systems itself.
