DeleteResource Method

Deletes a resource.

Syntax

int DeleteResource(const QString& qsResource);

Remarks

This method deletes the resource specified by Resource.

Resource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, or a resource Id.

When deleting file resources, the IfRevision configuration setting can be set to a revision Id before calling this method. This will ensure that the server only deletes the file resource if its latest revision Id matches the one provided.

For Dropbox Business accounts, the PermanentlyDelete configuration setting can be enabled to delete resources permanently.

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
