Getting the contents of the recycle bin from msgraph fails

Rémi Picot 10

Hello there, I'm trying to use msGraph to get the content of a recycle bin

I'm using a request like this using app permissions

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/filestoragecontainer-list-recyclebinitem?view=graph-rest-1.0

so this request :

GET /storage/fileStorage/containers/{containerId}/recycleBin/items

On the {containerId} I put my driveId

I tried directly with a curl like request and with the latest version of the official java connector to msgraph.

Do anyone manages to make it work ?

Thank you for reaching out. Kindly check on the permissions. In addition to the MS Graph Permissions you need to ensure you have the necessary container-type level permission or permissions to call this API as indicated in the documentation you have linked. You must provide a valid containerID in this call for it to be successful. I would advise that you first follow this documentation to see the items that are visible to you as the caller-List containers - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn It would also be helpful if you pasted the details of the error you are encountering if available.

thanks for the answer,

I don't think there is a problem with permissions or the container Id

Here is call that works using the official java client :

graphClient.storage().fileStorage().containers().byFileStorageContainerId(fileStorageContainerId).drive()

and with the same driveId (variable fileStorageContainerId) here is a call that doesn't work

graphClient.storage().fileStorage().containers().byFileStorageContainerId(fileStorageContainerId).recycleBin().items().get();

the error is

com.microsoft.graph.models.odataerrors.ODataError: One of the provided arguments is not acceptable.

If I'm not mistaken on a simple curl call, i only get an error 400.

I didn't see anywere any working example of query for the recycle bin.

It didn't seemed to work at release on may/june of last year, since then the documentation page as changed and maybe the call to, but for me it still doesn't work.

Just in case I'm still looking for answer, as far as I can't tell for now it's not possible to get the recycle bin's content
