Bulk delete Shared Drives

[Kevin Rice]

Hi all, I have over 25,000 shared drives in our org and I'd like to delete about 11,000 of them. I used to have a link for this process but can no longer find it.

What is the best method to delete a ton of shared drives via CSV?

Thanks.

Kevin,

Advanced GAM solution:

The CSV file (SharedDriveIDs.csv) should have a column id; (there can be others but they will not be used)

gam redirect stdout ./DeleteSharedDrives.txt multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv ./SharedDriveIDs.csv gam delete teamdrive "~id" allowitemdeletion

Hey Ross, I'm getting the error "ERROR: Extra Arguments >>>>>allowitemdeletion<<<<<<" when running the command. Have tried different variations.

Ya that's it and after writing that I suspected that might be it and you would ask ;) Thanks again.
