drive_rm: Delete files from Drive
In googledrive: An Interface to Google Drive

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Caution: this will permanently delete your files! For a safer, reversible option, see drive_trash().

1	drive_rm(..., verbose = deprecated())

`...`	One or more Drive files, specified in any valid way, i.e. as a `dribble`, by name or path, or by file id or URL marked with `as_id()`. Or any combination thereof. Elements are processed with `as_dribble()` and row-bound prior to deletion.
`verbose`	This logical argument to individual googledrive functions is deprecated. To globally suppress googledrive messaging, use `options(googledrive_quiet = TRUE)` (the default behaviour is to emit informational messages). To suppress messaging in a more limited way, use the helpers `local_drive_quiet()` or `with_drive_quiet()`.

Logical vector, indicating whether the delete succeeded.

Wraps the files.delete endpoint:

# Target one of the official example files to copy (then remove)
(src_file <- drive_example_remote("chicken.txt"))

# Create a copy, then remove it by name
src_file %>%
  drive_cp(name = "chicken-rm.txt")
drive_rm("chicken-rm.txt")

# Create several more copies
x1 <- src_file %>%
  drive_cp(name = "chicken-abc.txt")
drive_cp(src_file, name = "chicken-def.txt")
x2 <- src_file %>%
  drive_cp(name = "chicken-ghi.txt")

# Remove the copies all at once, specified in different ways
drive_rm(x1, "chicken-def.txt", as_id(x2))
