Google Drive Delete

Delete or trash a file in Google Drive. By default, files are moved to trash (recoverable). Enable permanent delete to remove them irreversibly.

Streaming

When connected to an upstream Google Drive List node, the Delete node processes each file individually. If no File ID is configured, it uses the id field from the upstream data.

WARNING

When Permanently Delete is enabled, files cannot be recovered. Use with caution, especially when processing lists of files.
