    <title>topic Embedder like pre built component for deleting files in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a web application where i need user to be able to upload, view, delete files and folders using dropbox. I am using embedder and saver to do the above. But i am not able to allow user to delete files. Is there a way i can do this via a pre built component? If not, is there a way i can let user choose a file on these pre built compone, retrieve file id and then hit delete api. I do not want to build all components myself from scratch using apis.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox doesn't offer a pre-built component like that for deleting files, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You could use the Dropbox Chooser to have the user select file(s) though, at which point the app would then receive the corresponding file ID(s). Refer to the Dropbox Chooser documentation for information on that:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Then, you could use the Dropbox API /2/files/delete_v2 endpoint to delete the file(s) by ID:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-delete" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-delete&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Using an endpoint like that requires authorization. Refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for information on that:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/oauth-guide" target="_blank"&gt;https://developers.dropbox.com/oauth-guide&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;</description>
