SharePoint List item threshold? How to delete items?

Hello,

 

We currently have a list that records data almost every day from users. The list has exceeded the 5000 item threshold by quite a bit (around 25000 current records) and this is causing slow performance in the attached Power Automate.

 

How can I access this list and delete older items so that the Power AUtomate performs smoothly?

    Hi, aside from programmatically deleting items from the list, have you considered looking at how your power automate flows are running? Do they run every time a new item is added? If so is that required or could it be ran as a daily/ weekly task?
