"createFolder is deprecated. Use createFolder."

What is this message?  There is a createFolderV2 in the headers, does it mean I should use that?

Same thing with 'delete_':  

"delete_ is deprecated. Use delete_."

    Apologies for the confusion. It looks like the SDK isn't formatting the replacement (non-deprecated) method name in these messages properly. I'll ask the team to get that fixed up.

    To confirm though, yes, you should use createFolderV2 instead of createFolder, and likewise, deleteV2 instead of delete_.

      6 years later, the GitHub still shows this same deprecated verbiage. Will it be updated?
