Hi,

I’m not here to ask for support. I deliberately spun up a fresh environment to test what @Sujith Sujith described in his original post, and every word of it is true.

This is simply a fact: the audit log does not capture Power Automate flow deletions. You can reproduce it in minutes on any dev tenant.

I’m running into this in my production tenant, but I don’t have time to haggle with Microsoft support, so I’ll work around it myself.

All I’m asking is that you fix your product.

Dear Anthony,

Thank you for testing this in a fresh environment and confirming the behavior. Reproducible results like yours are very useful, and I understand why you'd rather see it fixed than work around it. To be clear, Microsoft Q&A is a user to user forum, so feedback posted here doesn't reach the Power Automate product team. I'm not able to log a product issue or request a fix on your behalf.

For your report to reach the product team, please submit it through the official feedback channel, where the product team reviews submissions and other users can vote on them. Including the reproduction steps from your test environment will make your submission stronger, and linking back to this thread lets others with the same issue add their votes.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your findings. I hope this gets the attention it deserves.

Dear Anthony,

I'm sorry the earlier replies didn't give you what you needed. Seeing a delete activity without a matching audit record is confusing, especially when you need to know who deleted the flow. As a forum moderator, I genuinely wish I could directly review your tenant's audit logs or Power Platform environment to diagnose and fix this for you. Unfortunately, my role here is limited to providing general guidance and solutions that can be applied by users. Before you go further, you could check these two things:

Purview Audit: In the Microsoft Purview portal, go to Audit, search for the Power Automate deleted flow activity, and set the date range to cover when the flow was deleted.
Solution flows: Check whether the flow was created inside a solution, because solution flows may be logged differently from flows outside solutions.

If neither of these turns up the record, I recommend opening a service request with Microsoft Support. A technical support engineer can perform a remote session to investigate the situation, verify the backend configurations, and run any necessary synchronization tools to resolve the problem. If the issue requires further attention, they can escalate it to a specialized team for deeper analysis. Please include the activity you can see, where you see it, the flow name, and the date range you searched, as this will help speed things up. For detailed instructions on how to get support, please refer to Get support - Microsoft 365 admin.

I truly hope you get your issue resolved swiftly. Please know that even though I can't directly intervene, directing you to the correct, specialized support is the most effective help I can provide from my position. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please let me know if you need anything else. Wishing you all the best.
