# Delete Folder Or File

[delete](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-delete)

scope: `files.content.write`

Delete the file or folder at a given path.
If the path is a folder, all its contents will be deleted too.
A successful response indicates that the file or folder was deleted. The returned metadata will be the corresponding `FileMetadata` or `FolderMetadata` for the item at time of deletion, and not a `DeletedMetadata` object.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
| - | - |
| Path | Path in the user's Dropbox to delete. |
