      <title>Batch deletion?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Batch-deletion/m-p/98761#M2956</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello all, looking through the current Core API docs, I find no way to batch-delete a set of files, other than to delete a whole folder.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;This is causing performance issues with the application I'm working on.  I started with Google Drive support, and they have a generic mechanism for batching API requests (putting requests themselves as multipart mime sections of a single request to a batch request endpoint)... I was wondering if Dropbox has an undocumented or v2 REST API endpoint for specifying a set of paths to delete...&lt;BR /&gt;
Right now I have to walk through each file to delete, and make an HTTP request in-turn.  This gets painfully expensive when there are 1000 or more files to remove.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I cannot just remove the whole folder, as some of the files in the folder may need to remain.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, no, the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer any batch capability like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Stanley, this thread was about functionality in the programming interface for Dropbox. Feedback for the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox product itself like yours would be better suited in the Product feedback forum:&lt;/P&gt;
