Size of the deleted files.

How do I find out the size of deleted files? I use /2/files/list_folder with include_deleted=True, I can see the deleted items, but there is no size info.

No, I haven't looked at list_revisions. But this leads me to another question and that is about deleted folders. I guess deleted items can be restored, but I want to check the size of all deleted items. So which endpoint do I need to query to get the size of deleted files/folders.

I am surprised to see that Dropbox doesn't have an API to return just the deleted items.
