Deleting folders in OneDrive

[Blakendeker]

Hi,

I wish to daily wipe clean the content of a onedrive account. I'm able to produce a flow that will delete all the root files but I'm unable to do the same with the folders. Is there a way to recursivly delete a folder and all it's content (files and subfolders) with a flow?

So, here's a theory...let me know what you think:

1. Map the OneDrive to a network drive
2. Write a batch file to clear the drive.
3. Call the batch file from a recurrence Flow.

Dangerous...but fun, right?

Keep us posted.

Hi @Blakendeker ,

Thanks for feedback.

If you want to delete folder in OneDrive, I am afraid that it is not possible currently. Flow doesn’t have an delete folder action, besides, we cannot use “Delete file” action to delete folders.

Please feel free submit a request on Flow Ideas Forum, I will suggest other customers who have the same request to vote your idea as well:
