Delete files on GoogleDrive with rclone command2

Dear,

I reopen this topic: Delete files on GoogleDrive with rclone command

I try with rclone_v1.54_x64 run on Ubuntu, i cannot delete files on GoogleDrive (upload/download works fine).

I use this command:

rclone -v delete GD:myfolder/BatteryStatus_DEV_motion_car_polo_1.json

It''s normal google drive.

i get theses messages:

Thank you.

can you post the debug log, using -vv, not -v and the config file, redact secrets.

Config file:

[SyncFilesRaspRemoteDrive]
type = drive
scope = drive
service_account_file = /home/james/Documents/AUTH/RaspDEV.json
root_folder_id = XXXXXX

looks like a permissions issue, no permission to delete the object.

The file is created by the same user.

perhaps that user does not have permission to delete.
you created a service file, check the user permissions.

for example, when i setup a user with wasabi, a s3 clone,
i create a user that can only upload, not download, not delete.

Where can i check user permissions?

the same place where you created the service account file.

You can check permission (language is french)

No idea about my problem?
