    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Use your previously obtained access token here:
    // See the following examples for getting an access token:
    //    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
    //    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
    //    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
    //    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

    // (Make sure your token was obtained with the Files.ReadWrite scope.)

    // To delete a file or folder, send a DELETE request like this:
    // If not using "me", then the URL path should be /v1.0/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/...
    // DELETE /v1.0/me/drive/root:/{item-path}

    http.SetUrlVar("item_path","someFolder/sample.pdf");
