Whether or not you need to revoke the edit link will depend on your use case; it's not required for creating a view link. To revoke a link you'd use /2/sharing/revoke_shared_link.

Here's how I'm revoking and then creating the link in a Console application:
await client.Sharing.RevokeSharedLinkAsync(url); SharedLinkSettings settings = new SharedLinkSettings(access: RequestedLinkAccessLevel.Viewer.Instance); await client.Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync(sharedFolderPath,settings);This appears to work on my end, thank you.
