How to Delete Items using SharePoint REST API in Power Automate
Master SharePoint REST API: How to Delete Items, Files, and Folders in Power Automate
Are you struggling with limitations in the default "Delete" actions in Power Automate? In this video, I show you how to use the SharePoint REST API to perform clean and efficient delete operations using the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action.
In this tutorial, you will learn:
✅ How to configure the DELETE method in Power Automate.
✅ How to use the IF-MATCH: * header to avoid concurrency issues.
✅ The difference between deleting a List Item and a File/Folder via API.
✅ How to handle "Item Not Found" errors gracefully.
API Configuration used in this video:
Method: POST (or DELETE)
Uri: _api/web/lists/GetByTitle('YourList')/items(ID)
Headers:
Accept: application/json;odata=verbose
IF-MATCH: *
X-HTTP-Method: DELETE
Using the REST API is faster, more reliable, and allows you to perform advanced deletions that standard Flow connectors can't handle.
