I believe your situation and goal as follows.

  • You want to move a file to the trash box using Drive API v3 with googleapis with Node.js.
  • drive can be used for using the method of "Files: update" of Drive API.

For this, how about this modification? In this case, please include the request body to requestBody or resource as follows.

Modified script:

await drive.files.update({ fileId, requestBody: { trashed: true } });

or

await drive.files.update({ fileId, resource: { trashed: true } });
