Saw some forum posts from 2020 and earlier on deleting a list of files requiring an API workflow, are there any updates now to make it easier to delete a list of files instead of individually deleting them in the Workflow?
Thanks
Hello @austinchen.94
No. The action is for one.
However you can schedule the action on a list or schedule the list recursively. Not a biggie. 
Thanks for the response @cmarchan ! Do you have any tips on how one would go about scheduling the list recursively? Was hoping to not make it a timed thing, but rather something that would happen only when a specific button is clicked

Hope this helps 
I found this intimidating initially, but actually it’s fairly straightforward once you get how it works and you set up a few.

Complementing @josh24 great recommendation please review how to run a list recursively
- set an api workflow to run on current date with at least three parameters
- index (number), count (number), things (list of things containing your file each)
- when scheduling send: index with value of 1, count with value being the count of the list of things, things with value being the list of things
- set the delete a file action and choose the file field to be deleted for the entry “thing #index”
- schedule the api flow to run on current date on itself sending the parameters as index + 1, count, list of things with a condition to do it only when index < count
This should do the trick
