Hi, Can anyone help me out here (urgent matter), apologies:

I tried a command to delete all shares that user A made to user B (user b is also external, but shouldn't matter I think...)

I tried this command that I saw on the internet: gam csv - gam user UserA @ x.com "~Owner" delete drivefileacl ~id userB @ x.com

But it doesn't do anything for me.. Can anyone help me out with this? BEcause I really need all shares gone for user B that user A made..

Bias,

How did you generate the CSV file that you must be piping into gam csv -?
What errors are you getting?

I have not generated anything actually? I just thought this was the command to delete the shares instantly.

So placing this command: gam user us...@x.com print filelist id | gam csv - gam user ~Owner delete drivefileacl ~id us...@x.com

Will delete all the shares to that users immediately or do I need to take some other actions before that?
