There are several articles, but I am not able to put a code together to run it successfully.
One article I have looked at: Permanently delete file from google drive<
i succeeded deleting a file from terminal using following curl command.
curl -X Delete -H 'GData-Version: 3.0' -H 'Authorization: Bearer ya29.Ci9rA4GFUvdEbOBtjA9ZPSq9_W7klt5hmyAMf5Jq8R1EdhiJIZwYqAgnjZsWG7SdWQ' https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/0Bwhnkm8opwXBQVZ5RmZuMWVUTzg
