@vgrem ,

Thank you so much for the library, Currently I am deleting the versions of files but faced issue while deleting large file size especially 2 GB+ file,
Could you please let me know the process to delete large files ?

Thank you.

Resolved in cb0527ed2 (already on master) via examples/sharepoint/files/versions/delete.py. It enumerates versions with a minimal property set and deletes/recycles them one at a time through execute_query_with_incremental_retry, with a configurable request timeout, so pruning versions of 2 GB+ files won't hang on slow server-side deletes.

Usage:

python delete.py --file-url "Shared Documents/big.mp4" --keep 5   # keep newest 5
python delete.py --file-url "Shared Documents/big.mp4" --all     # delete every non-current version
python delete.py --file-url "Shared Documents/big.mp4" --recycle # recycle instead of hard-delete
