Delete File (delete (path)) not working

Hi Team,

 

The client.files().delete(path)  is not working as expected when path is given as "id:somevalue". However, I am able to delete files using dropbox API explorer. But get the following error, when trying to d it from Java. 

String 'path' does not match pattern

    What version number of the Dropbox Java SDK do you have installed? It's possible you have an older version from before this was supported for the delete method.

    If you're not already using the latest release, currently v3.1.1, please upgrade to that and let me know if that doesn't help.
