Unable to get event for child files deletion when parent folder is deleted

[sagar_lonkar]

If we delete parent folder which holds multiple files inside in it , then events API with file_operation category only return single event for folder deletion with file count.

Is there way to get  deleted files information with parent folder deletion ?

The Dropbox API does not offer an option for controlling that kind of reporting behavior. On Dropbox, the deletion of a parent implies the deletion of all of the children of that parent.
