I am trying to delete a file from the trash using an HTTP request but I get the following error "{" odata.error ": {" code ":" - 1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException "," message ": {" lang ":" en-US "," value ":" The type SP.RecycleBinItemCollection does not support HTTP DELETE method. "}}}
clientRequestId: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx":

is there any other solution to empty the recycle bin or permanently delete a file without going through the first and second level recycle bin?

Still having the same issue with that
Value is still empty

_api/web/RecycleBin?$filter=Title eq 'Test delete item from recycle bin if deleted before moving'&$select=Id

Hi @ChrisSullivan,

In the example I shared earlier the query was looking for a file, not a list item. That filter was using the LeafName property.

In your case it is a Title of list item you are using in your filter. In that case try and use the Title property in the filter instead.

_api/web/RecycleBin?$filter=Title eq '@{triggerOutputs()?['body/Name']}'&$select=Id

Re: Use Power Automate to permanently delete files from a folder or recycle bin - OneDrive Business

Hi there.

This is not working for me. I am trying to delete a list item from the recycle bin after it is delete.

I am using
"When an Item is Deleted" trigger and the dynamic content "FileNameWithExtention" for the LeafName.
_api/web/RecycleBin?$filter=LeafName eq'Test delete item from recycle bin if deleted before moving'&$select=Id
It is not pulling the ID from the Item....?

What might I be doing wrong?

Thank you very much!! It's very simple but it's working. Now, I can empty automatically my recycle bin every day.

Hi.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/sharepoint-visio/jj246426(v=office.15)

POST http://<sitecollection>/<site>/_api/web/RecycleBin/deleteAll()
use "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" for POST
