Deleting Files from Google Drive

You can delete any file from Google Drive so long as you know the File ID:

from easygoogledocs import GoogleAPI, AUTH_TYPE_BROWSER, AUTH_TYPE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
api = GoogleAPI(credentials_file='credentials.json')

# To authorize with a web-browser based OAuth Token:
api.authorize(authentication_type=AUTH_TYPE_BROWSER)

# To authorize with a service account:
api.authorize(authentication_type=AUTH_TYPE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT)

# Delete the file "budget1999.xlsx", which has a file ID of "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX":
api.delete_file(file_id='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')

There is also one for spreadsheets, which does nothing more than call the above function:

from easygoogledocs import GoogleAPI, AUTH_TYPE_BROWSER, AUTH_TYPE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
api = GoogleAPI(credentials_file='credentials.json')

# To authorize with a web-browser based OAuth Token:
api.authorize(authentication_type=AUTH_TYPE_BROWSER)

# To authorize with a service account:
api.authorize(authentication_type=AUTH_TYPE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT)

# Delete the file "budget1999.xlsx", which has a file ID of "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX":
api.delete_spreadsheet(spreadsheet_id='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
