Hello everyone.

I searched, but I couldn't find it on the GAM Advanced page.

What command can I use to erase all files from a shared drive?

I know it exists for users via GAM Standard and for Shared Drive you must use GAM Advanced. But I didn't find it.

Can you help me?

Regards.

Victor,

You'll need an organizer of the the Shared Drive and the Shared Drive ID,

gam redirect csv ./SharedDriveFiles.csv user orga...@domain.com print filelist select teamdriveid <SharedDriveID> fields id,name

gam redirect stdout ./SharedDriveCleanup.txt multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv ./SharedDriveFiles.csv gam user "~Owner" purge drivefile "~id"

Hi Ross

And in this case, how can I delete files from only the trash of shared drive?

Regards.

Victor,

If what you want to do is empty the shared drive trash do this:
gam user orga...@domain.com empty drivetrash teamdriveid <SharedDriveID>
