I am trying to delete google drive folders using the following code block:

from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google.oauth2 import service_account


credentials0 = {
.......
}

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_info(credentials0)
drive_service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=credentials)


folder_to_delete_id = '.......'


drive_service.files().delete(fileId=folder_to_delete_id).execute()

It is showing an error that I don't have enough permission to delete the file. But I have already added the service account as an editor to the given folder. It can do everything but can not delete the folder.

Can anyone help me?

  • Try try/except try: drive_service.files().delete(fileId=folder_to_delete_id).execute() print(f"Folder with ID {folder_to_delete_id} has been deleted.") except HttpError as error: print(f"An error occurred: {error}") Commented May 4 at 10:21
  • What scope did you use when you authorized the application? Commented May 4 at 13:51
  • SCOPES = ['googleapis.com/auth/drive'] Commented May 4 at 16:15
  • Anyway, I sorted it out by moving the required folders to another folder. But not deleting. Commented May 4 at 16:16
  • always put full error message because there are other useful information. Commented May 4 at 22:46
