remove all shared links

[k s.4]

Hi, I have many links in the links-list. Way to many. I take it that the files linked are accessible for anyone with the link. I want all these links removed with one command. It is too many to do it manually for each one.
Thanks

In a previous episode I managed to remove all of my shared links using a small javascript pasted in the browser's console. You can find the previous solution by using the link https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Create-upload-and-share/remove-all-shared-links/td-p/75611 (or by searching for "remove all shared links"). I tried today to use that script but the web design has changed since 2017 so the script did not work. Here is an update below. Hope it helps. Again exercise caution etc...

for( let dots of document.getElementsByClassName("mc-button") ) { dots.click( ); for( let del of document.getElementsByClassName("delete-link")) { del.click(); for( let can of document.getElementsByClassName("dbmodal-button") ) { can.click( ); break; } break; } break; }

Note that I have one extra "break;" in the end of the script, to remove only the first link, for testing etc. To unleash batch removal, just delete it.

Hi everyone, there have been several posts with solutions to deleting Dropbox Shared Links (https://www.dropbox.com/share/links) in bulk. The most recent being this post above from August 2022.

ProblemSolved shared above:

for( let dots of document.getElementsByClassName("mc-button") ) { dots.click( ); for( let del of document.getElementsByClassName("delete-link")) { del.click(); for( let can of document.getElementsByClassName("dbmodal-button") ) { can.click( ); break; } break; } break; }

When I navigate to the Links page, access the console, and initiate the script, I get an undefined error. Is this due to the changes in the page design, or am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have any advice or an updated script that might work?

Thank you for reading!

2023 Dropbox, browse to "shared" page, click "links" submenu, pase the code below into the console: 

async function pause(ms) {
    return new Promise(resolve => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            resolve();
        }, ms);
    });
}

async function deleteLinks() {
    const deleteLinkTexts = ["Delete view link", "Delete edit link"]; // Both options
    let items = document.querySelectorAll('.share-page-row-actions [data-testid="open-menu-button"]');

    for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
        items[i].click(); // Click the submenu button to open the menu
        await pause(1000); // Adjust the pause duration as needed

        // Find and click the appropriate delete link option
        const deleteLinkOption = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.dig-Menu-row-title')).find(item => deleteLinkTexts.includes(item.textContent));
        if (deleteLinkOption) {
            deleteLinkOption.click(); // Click the delete link option
            await pause(1000); // Adjust the pause duration as needed

            // Find and click the delete button
            const deleteButton = document.getElementsByClassName("dbmodal-button");
            if (deleteButton.length > 0) {
                deleteButton[0].click();
                await pause(1000); // Adjust the pause duration as needed
            }
        }

        items = document.querySelectorAll('.share-page-row-actions [data-testid="open-menu-button"]'); // Refresh items
    }
}

deleteLinks();

Doesn't work anymore no matter what I try. any other suggestions.

Anyone know a way to delete all links at once. I've already tried the chrome java method and it doesn't work at all. Anyone have any other suggestions. This is confusing as to why they don't have it yet.

If anyone is looking for solution in 2024: use the HTTP API. I made few scripts here: https://github.com/Visgean/check-dropbox-links/
