DeletePermanently
Permanently deletes a file or folder from Dropbox with no recovery option; requires elevated deletion scope.
Behavior and Usage Notes
By default, this procedure only deletes items that are already in the Dropbox Deleted files section (the recycle bin). To delete items that are still active, set the ForceDelete input to true.
- Set ForceDelete to true to permanently delete any file or folder, regardless of its deletion status.
- Set ForceDelete to false only if the item has already been deleted and is in the recycle bin.
- To delete active files without setting ForceDelete, use DeleteResource then DeletePermanently.
