Delete a file which appeared in Onedrive for business

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Goodmountain 32

Hello,

 

I just want to understand the use of MS Flow, but sometimes, I am a little desperate when things assumed easy do not work at all Smiley Frustrated

 

My aim is a flow which only deletes a file which appeared in a certain folder in Onedrive for Business after waiting two minutes.

 

The flow works 'til the deleting part:msflow.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MS Flow does not recognize, which file I want to delete, I think. But how do I transport the information correctly?

 

Thanks in Advance,

 

Goodmountain

    Hi @Goodmountain,

     

    I have tested on my side but it works well:Annotation 2019-09-02 134026.png

    I assume what dynamic content you input is file path, not file identifier, so I recommend you use the file identifier and try it again.Annotation 2019-09-02 134424.png

    Hello,

     

    my problem was the written file-patch in the "Delete file" "File"-Section.

    When removing the path, it worked. 

     

    Problem is solved, thanks a lot!

     

    Regards,
