Now, I want to do the same thing, but to erase folders that are in the same path... I tried many different aproaches, but without success...

 

I created a new flow just for that.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks.

    Hi @jrl_vortx 

    According to your description, you want to delete the specified folder.

    Assume I want to delete Test1 folder.

    Flow in details:

    Add Delete item and select Enter custom value. Then enter the library name.

    Save and test.

    After flow runs, Test1 will be deleted.

     

    Hope the content above may help you.

    Hello!

     

    What I need is to erase subfolders from a specific folder.

     

    Let's assume that inside Test1 we have "Test2" and "Test3", and in the next day we have "Round1", "Round6" and "Round2". In the first day I need to erase "Test2 " and "Test3", on the next day I need to erase "Round1", "Round6" and "Round2".

     

    How can I do that and what´s the initial trigger?

     

    Thanks.
