Can I use Flows to delete files from a custom object?

Question

Hi,

I am trying to set up a Flow which deletes files with a specific category when a custom object status that the file is attached to has a status of Issue Licence.

Is this possible as I have hit a road block when adding the Delete element.

All help very much appreciated

Many thanks

Lorraine

You believe you can use a flow to delete Content Document Link, which includes the record it is linked to and the id of the Content Document.   You should be able to gather up the versions, content document and content document link to delete them. I'm still working on this but I've seen references to it, so I'm hopeful.
