How to Delete Files in Azure Storage Using Power Automate

Prerequisites

Before creating the flow, make sure you have:

1. Azure subscription with either:
   • A Blob Storage container, or
   • An Azure File Share
2. Power Automate license with access to the Azure Blob Storage or Azure File Storage connector
3. Proper permissions (read + delete) on the storage account

Flow Design for Blob Storage

1. Trigger: Scheduled Execution

• Add a Recurrence trigger.
• Configure it to run daily (or weekly) depending on how frequently you want to clean up files.

2. List Blobs

• Use the action Azure Blob Storage → List blobs.
• Select your container where files are stored.
• This returns metadata about each blob.

3. Loop Through Files

• Add an Apply to each loop to process each blob returned by the listing.

5. Delete Blob

• If the condition is true, add the Delete blob action.
• Map the blob’s name as the input.

6. Test the Flow

• Save your flow.
• Run it manually and confirm the file is deleted from your container.
