Removing files from Google Drive

[Donnie Mayes]

When emails come in supposedly from our Superintendent, there's a file that's put in their Google Drive.  Is there a way to scrub all of the accounts that have that file in it with GAM?  I don't want them inadvertently clicking on that file if they see it in their Drive.  

I thought I had the command saved, but I can't find it on my PC.

Thank you!

Is this what you were looking for?
gam all users delete drivefile <FileID>
⚠️ Important caveat for the global command:
As GAM loops through your domain, it will successfully delete the file for the owner (or remove the shortcut for those it was shared with). However, once the file is destroyed, GAM could return a "404: File not found" error for every subsequent user it processes. This is expected behavior—it just means the file is already gone.

Does the file have a fixed name?

Is this for all users in the workspace or some selected OU or group?

For example,

gam redirect stdout ./DeleteSuperFile.txt redirect stderr stdout ou /Staff purge drivefile name "Name of Superintndent file"
