SharePoint list items keep deleting by itself

[Kim Salas]

I created a excel spreadsheet, formatted as a table, and then exported as a spo list to be the data source for a powerapp.

The powerapp has a patch statement to add a new record to the spo list, which works fine. The problem I am experiencing is that the list items keep deleting without any reason if I go back and view the activity of the list. It happens randomly, and I have restored the list so many times from the recycle bin. I don’t know what else to do to fix this issue. I have checked over and over in the powerapp coding to see if something would cause a row to be deleted, but no. This spo list was created on 5/15 to be used with the app. So in all, there should be about 100 list items by now, now there are none!

When you go to the recycle bin and see the list items deleted: who is the user that appears as the one that deleted the items?

When I look in the recycle bin to see the user, it’s a variety of users. But they don’t the have knowledge of using SPO. So I don’t it is something any user is doing intentionally.

Also, when looked at the list, it always opens in edit mode.

One time, to test a new entry directly to the data source versus coming as a new record from PowerApps, I clicked the ‘new item’ button in SPO, and it deleted all of the items, which was about 60 items at that point.

@Kim Salas did you ever get to the bottom of what was deleting the list? i have the same issue. when ever i open the app i created it works fine, then for no reason starts to delete all the list items!?!
