Deleting temporary files

Hi,

I am running through a listloop (see attached flow) to delete the temporary files. But there are some temporary files when the automation try to delete, resulting in an error "Access denied". So, my requirement is the automation should ignore such files and continue deleting other files.

How do I incorporate such a functionality in my automation?

Wrap your Delete method in a try catch. By default, this ill continue allowing the remaining files to be deleted.
