I have been testing out CloudDrive's latest beta, and run into an issue. I had some odd errors, unrelated to CloudDrive, on my server, which resuled in my decision to destroy my 10TB cloud drive [on two separate occasions]. As part of a reinstall, I decided to delete the CloudDrive folder on my Google Drive, as well, as I will reauthorize and recreate another drive later. However, now I have found an issue. My Google Drive still reports as having over a TB in use, which is approximately what I had on the drive prior to deleting it. While I do not see any chunk files, I can perform a search by looking for title:chunk and get results. It looks like I still have all of the chunks from the destroyed drives, even if I do not actively see them in the Drive directory. I would like to find a method to delete them. Is this stubborn chunk data staying behind normal? Can I utilize CloudDrive to delete them? Doing so manually would be a bit impracticable. I see in my research that Google gives access to an API for deleting files. Will I need to create my own script to mass delete these pseudo-hidden chunk files? Lots of questions, I know. Let me know if I can provide any helpful data. I haven't deleted/uninstalled CloudDrive, so any logs it has created by default would still exist.
