Hi Dan, the permanentlyDelete method you mentioned is the right method for permanently deleting files. Have you tried using it and run in to any issues? If so, please share the error you're getting if you're still having trouble.
Note that per the documentation though, it's only available to Dropbox for Business apps. You can register a "team member file access" Dropbox Business app here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create
Using that would look like:
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxTeamClientV2(config, ACCESS_TOKEN).asMember(teamMemberId);
client.files().permanentlyDelete(filePath);

I too also creating an android app and require the delete method, I am a single developer so don't need the business membership can you make the permanentlyDelete(String path) method available to sole developers please ?
- Greg-DB8 years agoDropbox StaffThanks for the feedback! I can't make any promises, but I've added your vote to the feature request.

Hi,
I would like to give another vote for making the permanently_delete endpoint available to Individual (non Business) users.
Actually, I don't see a reason for limiting it anymore as all Business plans have 120 days of file history, just as the Professional plan. Even the blog post for the new Professional plan states that this new (and most expensive per person) plan would bring the Business features to individual users. Therefore, I would expect the endpoint to work at least for Professional accounts.
Best regards,
Markus
