Metadata instanceof DeletedMetadata and FileMetadata
Hello,
I would like to know if there's any way of check if the Metadata of a certain entry is of type DeletedMetadata and FileMetada but not FolderMetadata.
Like the following:
...
I've found a problem. By default, folders doesn't seem to have revision, since if I try to list revisions for a folder an exception raises.
But there's a problem:
When I receive a webhook with a DeleteMetadata I check the list revision of that path for see what was there before, and there's a problem:
- I create a file 'hello' without extension.
- I Remove it.
- I create a folder 'hello'
- Now if I remove the folder, the revisions of the old file appears.
When are removed the revisions?
I've cleaned the bin and revisions still appears from that file.

File revisions are stored for 30 days by default, or longer depending on the account type/features: https://www.dropbox.com/help/space/older-versions
