    It is possible. Check the endpoint here . You will need to pass the file Id as parameter.

      Download the file in Appian, then make an HTTP DELETE call to  https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/{fileId} with OAuth authorization to delete the file from Google Drive.

      Make sure your integration has permissions to delete files

        To delete a folder or file that is shared with you, you can use the files.delete method. Also, you need to an owner or organiser for the file/folder, without this permission you won't be able to perform delete operation.

        For download you can use the files.get method with the ID of the file to download and the alt=media URL parameter.
