HII
hope these steps would help you resolve this
–use assign activity and mention like this
arr_filepath = Directory.GetFiles(“yourfolderpath”,“*.xlsx”)
where arr_filpath is a variable of type array of string

—and pass this variable to arr_filepath to a FOR EACH activity where change the type argument as string in the property panel of for each loop

–inside the loop use DELETE activity and mention the input as item.tostring

Cheers @Karan28

Try below expression to find excel files.

    excelFiles [] = Directory.GetFiles("Folder path","*.xlsx")

      IF excelFiles.Count > 0 
      Then use ForEach loop to iterate files and inside that use Delete activity to delete file
