The path you would specify is the path to the file in the Dropbox account that you want to delete. For example, to deleted a file called "test.docx" in a folder named "Documents" in the root of the Dropbox, the path would be "/Documents/text.docx".

This is the same path you get from metadata elsewhere in the API, e.g., from the GetMetadata or ListFolder methods.
