    old question, but this might be helpful if anyone else is looking for the answer.

    Power Shell Script - Transfer / Reassign Power Automate (MS Flows) ownership to other account (linkedin.com)

    The Set-AdminFlowOwnerRole command is what you are looking for.

    Hi @DLGross,

     

    1. Those Flows created by former employees will keep running until there are problems (like authentication).

    2. Under Microsoft Flow Admin Center->Environments->the Proper Environment->Resources->Flows, there would be a list of all the flows created in this environment listed,

    3. Yes, those flows could be deleted or adding a new Owner by clicking the Flow in the Flow list mentioned in Step 2.

    You may click View Details to manage sharing, or just delete this flow.

    When a user leaves the company (and their account is deleted), will their Flows remain to allow you to assign a new owner, or will their flows be deleted when the account is deleted?
