Bulk cleanup of content / documents in SharePoint
Hi,
We currently have a few SharePoint sites that have old content / documents in document libraries. These are outdated and some are more than 5 years old. To delete these, we currently need to go to each document library / page (and its subfolders), sort by the date created / modified and then manually delete, which would take some time.
Is there a way to bulk delete older content/ documents based on date, either within SharePoint admin or a third party program? (e.g. maybe run a query on a site to list any older content and then check off which page / document to delete).

You could build a simple flow in Power Automate that would run once a week and get files from a library that were modified more than, for example, 2 years old and then delete them.
