Move (Copy and delete) a file following approval

[haseltonk]

I have a flow where an approval process is triggered when a document is dropped into SharePoint.  Everything works great except for the final step, which is moving the file, once it's been approved) into a new folder.  I have been using the "If you Approve a new file in SharePoint, move it to a different folder" template as a guide, since that's essentially what I'm doing, just with many steps before that point.  

The "copy file" step works properly, creating a duplicate of the original file into the new subfolder.  The issue I'm having is the next step, which is to delete the file from the original folder that its dropped into.  There are no errors or warnings, and this is how the flow is build.  Any guidance would be appreciated, I'm great with many MS products but Flow isn't one of them so please basic explanations in plain English would be very helpful!

You may want to put a delay after the file is copied, see if the system needs time to release the temp file created during the move process.

Hi @haseltonk 

I suggest to use the Move File action instead of copy and delete. Please try it out and let us know.

@sudharsan1985 The action described in the Move File link you provided says to use the steps of copy and delete.  Did you mean to link a different URL?
