[英]How to delete multiple files at once using Google Drive API
I'm developing a python script that will upload files to a specific folder in my drive, as I come to notice, the drive api provides an excellent implementation for that, but I did encountered one problem, how do I delete multiple files at once?我正在开发一个 python 脚本,它将文件上传到我的驱动器中的特定文件夹,正如我注意到的,驱动器 api 为此提供了一个很好的实现,但我确实遇到了一个问题,我如何一次删除多个文件?
I tried grabbing the files I want from the drive and organize their Id's but no luck there... (a snippet below)我尝试从驱动器中抓取我想要的文件并组织它们的 ID,但没有运气......(下面的片段)
dir_id = "my folder Id"
file_id = "avoid deleting this file"
dFiles = []
query = ""
#will return a list of all the files in the folder
children = service.files().list(q="'"+dir_id+"' in parents").execute()
for i in children["items"]:
print "appending "+i["title"]
if i["id"] != file_id:
#two format options I tried..
dFiles.append(i["id"]) # will show as array of id's ["id1","id2"...]
query +=i["id"]+", " #will show in this format "id1, id2,..."
query = query[:-2] #to remove the finished ',' in the string
#tried both the query and str(dFiles) as arg but no luck...
service.files().delete(fileId=query).execute()
Is it possible to delete selected files (I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, after all, it's a basic operation)?是否可以删除选定的文件(我不明白为什么不可能,毕竟这是一项基本操作)?
Thanks in advance!提前致谢!
If you delete
or trash
a folder, it will recursively delete/trash all of the files contained in that folder. 如果您delete
或trash
文件夹,它会递归删除/回收站中的所有包含该文件夹中的文件。 Therefore, your code can be vastly simplified: 因此,您的代码可以大大简化:
dir_id = "my folder Id"
file_id = "avoid deleting this file"
service.files().update(fileId=file_id, addParents="root", removeParents=dir_id).execute()
service.files().delete(fileId=dir_id).execute()
This will first move the file you want to keep out of the folder (and into "My Drive") and then delete the folder. 这将首先将您要保留的文件移出文件夹(并进入“我的驱动器”),然后删除该文件夹。
Beware: if you call delete()
instead of trash()
, the folder and all the files within it will be permanently deleted and there is no way to recover them! 请注意:如果您调用delete()
而不是trash()
,则文件夹及其中的所有文件将被永久删除,并且无法恢复它们! So be very careful when using this method with a folder... 因此在文件夹中使用此方法时要非常小心......
You can batch multiple Drive API requests together. 您可以一起批量处理多个Drive API请求 。 Something like this should work using the Python API Client Library : 这样的东西应该使用Python API客户端库 :
def delete_file(request_id, response, exception):
if exception is not None:
# Do something with the exception
pass
else:
# Do something with the response
pass
batch = service.new_batch_http_request(callback=delete_file)
for file in children["items"]:
batch.add(service.files().delete(fileId=file["id"]))
batch.execute(http=http)
Files: delete Permanently deletes a file by ID. 文件:删除永久的ID删除的文件。
Parameters 参数
fileId The ID of the file to delete. fileId要删除的文件的ID。
File.delete deletes a file as in one file at a time if you want to delete more then one you have to send a call for each file you want to delete File.delete一次删除一个文件中的文件如果要删除多个文件,则必须为要删除的每个文件发送一个调用
