Can a MetaData object have true values for both the IsFile / IsFolder and IsDelete properties?

Using the Dropbox .NET SDK for the v2 API, can a file/folder MetaData object have both the IsFile/IsFolder property set to true along with the IsDeleted property? Or are these three properties mutually exclusive.

For example, if a file was deleted, would the code in the if statement be executed:

    ListFolderResult listFolderResult = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty);
    Metadata metaData = listFolderResult.Entries.ElementAt(0);
    if(metaData.IsFile && metaData.IsDeleted)
    {
        // could this occur
    }

The three are mutually exclusive. A good tip is to check out the HTTP documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation-files-list_folder. If you expand the definition of Metadata there, you'll see that it's always just one of those three subtypes:

Metadata (datatype with subtypes)

Metadata for a file or folder.

This datatype will be one of the following subtypes:

  • file FileMetadata
  • folder FolderMetadata
  • deleted DeletedMetadata
