Deleted files are automatically restored.
As shown in sample 1, "delete_V2" alone will succeed in deletion, but as in sample 2, the combination of "unshare Folder" and "delete_V2" will automatically restore the deleted file (folder).

Thank you very much. I can now reliably handle it in the following way:
1) Unshare the folder and wait until it is complete.
2) Wait for the folder to be re-added.
3) Delete the folder.Note that I get a "too_many_write_operations" error when I try to delete the re-added folder immediately. So I need to wait a bit for the delete and retry the delete if I get this error.
However, this way is the safest way I have ever done, as it can reliably determine the end of processing when the folder is successfully deleted.

Dropbox StaffYes, you could distinguish between shared and not shared folders by checking the metadata, e.g., by using getMetadata. If it's a shared folder, the DBFILESFolderSharingInfo.sharedFolderId in the returned DBFILESFolderMetadata.sharingInfo will be set. It will not be set if it is not a shared folder.
