Remove value from collection

Use the Remove item from collection action A tool for building the processes, logic, and direction within workflows. to remove all items of the specified value from the specified collection A variable containing multiple items, such as email addresses. Collection variables are useful for storing and operating on query results. For example, you can set up collection variables for names, email addresses, and index values to store results from querying a list. You can then loop through items in a particular collection variable (names, emails, or index values)..

For example, remove all items that have null values from a collection variable as the workflow does not need to process them.
