    <title>topic Automate the cleanup of Dropbox &amp;quot;Deleted files&amp;quot; in Discuss Dropbox Developer &amp; API</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Our company has had an old SKU that didn't provide for automated cleanup of the "Deleted files" on all account holders.&amp;nbsp; This means that some of our users have as many as 30,000 files sitting in their Deleted files section of Dropbox over the past 5+ years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am wondering if anyone has had success scripting the permanent deletion of all files/folders in the Deleted files for all users in a Dropbox for Business account?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox does offer the ability to programmatically permanently delete files, via &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-permanently_delete" target="_self"&gt;the /2/files/permanently_delete endpoint&lt;/A&gt;. (That's a link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation" target="_self"&gt;the official SDKs&lt;/A&gt; if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That endpoint in particular is only available to team-linked apps. You'd need to connect the app to your team and use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#teams-member-file-access" target="_self"&gt;the "member file access" feature&lt;/A&gt; to call it on behalf of any particular team member.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You may also want to check out &lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-file-access-guide" target="_self"&gt;the File Access Guide&lt;/A&gt; for information on interacting with the Dropbox filesystem via the API in general.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
