Welcome to the Make community!

To do this, you can try using the Data store “Update a record” module —

Updates a record in the data store

Make sure you select “Overwrite an existing array”, and then simply pass an emptyarray in the field.

e.g.:

For more information about the Update a record module and Data store app, see the corresponding Integrations page and the Help Centre documentation.

Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.
