Automating account deletion when user is in a suspended state.

Is it possible to automate an account deletion after it's been in the 'suspended' status? I'd like to reclaim a license without having to interact with the admin interface

Yes, you can use the /2/team/members/remove Dropbox Business API endpoint to delete an account and free up a license:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-members-remove

By the way, that's a link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:

Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints. 

Hope this helps!
