Delete activity in a pipeline

Hi All,

I create a small number of json files through a api, which get overwritten everytime time the pipeline runs.

There is a very minute chance that one day a json file may not be overwritten, because we have gotten rid of the object and are no longer interested in its history (it will be rare but possible).

I thought ..easy I'll insert a delete activity, but I can't seem to get the wildcard fucntionality to work (I am prolly being a dumbass here).

I followed this link from MS and wildcards should work, and I have used them to ingest data in a similar ways many times (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/delete-data-activity )

The activity step is super simple,

If I take the wildcard out and leave filename blank, it will delete all files in the subfolder, which could work, though I would like to build in some more finesse, incorporating it in a loop and target filenames more selectively. What am I missing here?

Cheers Hans
