Delete file permanently

Delete file permanently

Hi,

 

We are trying to delete files permanently which are present in team folder using java sdk. When we try to hit api with as member we are getting exception of no_write_permission but file is also getting deleted on dropbox. Can you guys please help us, why this is happening? Code for deletion is as follows.

 

try {

DbxRequestConfig config = DbxRequestConfig.newBuilder("clientIdentifier").withAutoRetryEnabled(3).build();
DbxCredential credential = new DbxCredential("accessToken");
DbxTeamClientV2 clientV2 = new DbxTeamClientV2(config, credential);
clientV2.asMember("userId").withPathRoot(pathRoot).files().permanentlyDelete("fileId");
log.info("deleted file permanently with fileId {}", "fileId");
} catch (Exception e) {
throw e;
}

 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

 

Thanks in advance

Bharath

I can't seem to reproduce this unexpected behavior, so we'll need to look into this more specifically for you. Please open an API ticket for this and include:

  • the client ID
  • the member ID
  • the file ID
  • the timestamp of the call

Please don't include your access token though. Thanks!
