    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

        Is it possible to perform Delete or Download operations on the folder shared with me on the Google Drive?

        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.
