PA Flow - Delete Non-empty Folders on SharePoint

[mbcann01]

Overview

I have some folders on SharePoint that I want to delete, but I'm getting an error message that says, "You have to delete all the items in this folder before you can delete the folder". I can get around things by deleting each individual folder/file down the file path, but that's a huge pain. I did some Googling and it looks like this might be a settings issue.

I think that I may be able to get around this

I wasn't ever able to get this to work. I ultimately just waited for the folder to sync with my local computer and deleted the files there.
