Find and delete shortcuts in users OneDrives

Question

Is it possible via scripting/API calls to determine...

a) which users have created shortcuts (SharePoint library function "Add shortcut to OneDrive") in OneDrive

b) delete shortcuts for all/specificed users

Answer 1

Hi @Andrew Goodwin

I do not believe this is possible as stated in another post at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/761174/microsoft-graph-api-how-to-get-shortcuts-when-gett.html

Shortcuts do not appear in children, refer to all properties: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/drive?view=graph-rest-1.0#properties

If this is helpful please accept answer.

Answer 2

Hi @Andrew Goodwin
Per my research, I do agree with DillonJS's answer. There is no such function to get the user who created shortcuts in onedrive currently. You could submit the feature request in Microsoft 365 Developer Platform. So they will take this into consideration.
