Outlook 365 Delete Contacts V2 leaves empty emails in Deleted Items Folder

Hi,

I have a flow that regularly fetches central contacts from a shared mailbox, then pushes them into users' exchange contacts folders.

 

To ensure all contacts are up to date, the flow first deletes ALL contacts (marked with a specific string at the "file As" field to separate them from users' individual contacts) in the users exchange folder and the re-creates new contacts.

 

The step of delete is done with DELETE CONTACTS (V2). After the delete is complete, there are empty items occurring in the DELETED ITEMS folder of the user. Any idea why that is and how to get rid of this? (I have tried using GET EMAILS V3 to fetch these, but it does not work to fetch them, unless I edit one of the items to e.g. add a few characters to the subject).

Any help on how to avoid these items to be created in the first place -OR- delete them within flow would be much apprechiated 👍👍👍

 

Best, 

Dom
