7 years agoThe filesDeleteBatch method does not necessarilly immediately delete the requested files. It can create and return the ID for an asynchronous job.
You should use the filesDeleteBatchCheck method, supplying the async job ID you received from filesDeleteBatch, to check on the job's status. If the job failed, it will indicate why.

Isnt there any way that we can use webhook against the delete_batch which should automatically submit the payload to the given URL?
