Delete file n OneDrive


Properties

The following properties are required in the YAML:

  • entity- file path in OneDrive
  • id - reference the physical file by its id
  • tokenType - OAuth token credentials name
  • method: delete

Considerations

  • The path entity is not used in the deletion process
  • Files are deleted in all folders as expected, even when the incorrect folder is specified as the delete method uses id
  • A delay or time lag of several minutes could be experienced when files are syncing between the device and OneDrive

Code Example

The code example below provides an example of a list of invoices in the myfiles directory of OneDrive. When swiping left and pressing the Delete button deletes the file on OneDrive.
