Google Drive revokes my token

I am new to google drive and started with the tutorial quickstart. After numerous attampts I run the program successfully. However I had permission and authorisation problems when I was trying to delete files.

Drive service = getDriveService();
service.files().delete("FileId").execute();

So I decide to change the URL in the client_secret.json,

From: "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs"

To: "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"

in the hope that I would now get the permission to delete files. However after executing the program again I didn't get the authorization tab of the internet browser like before.

As an example of the mentioned tab, here an image from google playground:

asking for permissions in browser

That's the reason why I delted the connection from my app to google drive website:

In addition i recreated also the client_secret.json file. However when I now execute the program I get only this error, independent what I am doing.

    Exception in thread "main" com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.TokenResponseException: 400 Bad Request
{
  "error" : "invalid_grant",
  "error_description" : "Token has been revoked."
}

So the two questions are what should i do to get the tutorial running again and how to set the permissions so that i can delete files?

I had a slightly different case. After getting the example in the Quick Start Guide to work a few months ago, I got the following error today when rerunning it.

    Exception in thread "main" com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.TokenResponseException: 400 Bad Request 
{ 
  "error" : "invalid_grant", 
  "error_description" : "Bad Request" 
}

Since the tokens were stored in TOKENS_DIRECTORY_PATH ("tokens"), the token stored there probably became invalid. Deleting directory tokens allowed me to once again get the browser page to select a gmail account to proceed with. Everything worked from there.

Now I find out the problem: I had to delete the directory "user.home/.credentials/drive-api-quickstart". After that I can give the program the authorisation, which it needs. Hope that someone will help this post ;)
