Moving files in library with a delay

[mhabig1]

I have 5 different library created in my SharePoint site. The flow is 

When a file is created (properties only)

Delay (20 days)

Get files properties

Get file metadata

Copy file

Delete file 

Post to a message

Send an email

This works great, my concern is I created another flow for each of the libraries in case the file is moved early (manually) by the end user,  which would leave the other flow running for the 20 days. Will this cause issues? Or is there another way I should create this?

Perhaps a better way would be to get documents and apply the flow based on age? Something like this:

Recurring daily

Get files (properties only)

If Today-Created >= 20

Then run flow

End

That would still keep that flow running if the end users manually moves the file to another library, before the scheduled date.

Hi @mhabig1,

If the File is moved early, this Flow run will fail after 20 days delay since the get files properties action will fail. And there is no copy file, message, and email in the following steps.

If you still want to post a message and email, you could create a branch to in case the File is moved early, then configure run after, for example:
