I don't have an update on this yet. I'll follow here once I do.

 

For reference though, if you don't need it, you can work around this by disabling the 'files.permanent_delete' scope for your app on the App Console.

Thanks for reporting this issue. This issue has now been addressed.

 

To resolve this issue, please now disable and then re-enable the files.permanent_delete scope and then click "Submit" for any affected apps(s) on the "Permissions" tab for the app on the App Console. If you do not need the files.permanent_delete scope, you should leave it disabled.

 

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
