Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action DELETE Method request returning "405 Method Not Allowed"

I'm trying to create a flow that will clear Microsoft Forms responses every week (so the form can be reused as it is a weekly check-in). I have set up the flow like the below following a guide I saw on YouTube.

The outputs contain the Tenant ID, UserID, and FormID respectively. I've checked that these values are right as they are what is shown in the network tab on the MS Form. The GET request works to retrieve the responses but when I run the DELETE request it gives me the below 405 Method Not Allowed error.

GET response to retrieve the forms responses working. So the IDs are correct.

Not sure if the DELETE method not working is an issue on my end, the form settings, or Power Automate/Microsoft Servers as I've seen a couple other people also have this problem but no solution posted. The tutorial I was following did not put anything in their request headers and it worked.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @_poweruser_,

Can you remove light from your URI and try again?

I used the below format for my URI in my test which successfully deleted all responses in my test form.

formapi/api/@{parameters('TenantId (exp_TenantId)')}/users/@{outputs('Get_my_profile_(V2)')?['body/id']}/forms('@{variables('FormId')}')/responses

As you can see the flow was happy with this.

Hi @Expiscornovus,
Removing 'light' did the trick and it works now, thank you so much 🙂
