Worth knowing
- Deleting cannot be undone. Nothing is deleted until you tick “Yes, really write to the file system”, and a preview lists what would go.
- A path that no longer exists is skipped and counted, not treated as an error.
- Files on your computer or in Google Drive cannot be deleted from a flow yet.
