Delete a file using Java api v2
How do I delete a file using the java api v2. I found DeleteArg, but it doesn't seem to do any thing??? Thanks.
Hi Dan, you can use the delete method in DbxUserFilesRequests. For example:
Metadata metadata = client.files().delete(path);
Hope this helps!
Yes. My code looks like this:
public String deleteFile(String path)
throws DbxException {
DbxRequestConfig requestConfig = DbxRequestConfig.newBuilder("Dropbox Documents Delete").build();
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(requestConfig, "AccessToken");
FileMetadata fileMetadata = (FileMetadata) client.files().delete(path);
return fileMetadata.getId();
}
Path Parameter: id:MWWBdvN6DaAAAAAAAAAAwA
The Error: String 'path' does not match pattern
