        Dim wHeader As WebHeaderCollection = New WebHeaderCollection()
        Dim wProxy As IWebProxy = WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy()
        wProxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

        wHeader.Clear()
        wHeader.Add("Authorization: Bearer " + storedaccesstoken)
        Dim sUrl As String = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/revoke"

        Dim wRequest As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(sUrl), HttpWebRequest)

        wRequest.Headers = wHeader
        wRequest.Method = "POST"
        wRequest.Proxy = wProxy


        Dim wResponse As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(wRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

        Dim sResponse As String = ""

        Using srRead As New StreamReader(wResponse.GetResponseStream())
            sResponse = srRead.ReadToEnd()
        End Using
        If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
            System.IO.File.Delete(FILE_NAME)

    When using OAuth 2 to make an API call like this, as it appears you are, you should supply the token as a "Bearer" token in the "Authorization" header. The header shouldn't go on the URL itself though, as you have.
    
    For example, using OAuth 2 with API v1 to revoke the access token, it would look like this, using curl:
    
    curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/disable_access_token \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
    
    Or, using OAuth 2 with API v2 to revoke the access token, it would look like this, using curl:
    
    curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/revoke \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
    
    API v2 is recommended over API v1 as API v1 is deprecated.
