I need to delete all files from a OneDrive folder. When I issue a request like the one shown under # Listing children(all files and folders) within General
here, I only get 200 items, which seems to be the expected default behavior per this. So in order to delete all files, I repeat the request multiple times, each time deleting 200 files. Is it possible to get ALL children in one request?
This worked:
link = parent+":/children"
while True:
rGetCh = requests.get(link, headers=headers)
for ch in rGetCh.json()["value"]:
# Looping through the current list of children
chName = urllib.parse.quote(ch["name"].encode('utf8'))
chPath = parent + "/" + chName
if "@odata.nextLink" in rGetCh.json(): # if this is in the response, there are more children
link = rGetCh.json()["@odata.nextLink"]
else:
break
