## From README

Clean Up Dropbox Content Use this skill for careful deletion workflows in Dropbox. Tools search listfolder getfilemetadata listsharedlinks copy delete checkjobstatus Workflow Confirm the cleanup goal and scope. Use search or listfolder to identify candidate content. Use getfilemetadata to verify each deletion candidate. Use listsharedlinks when deleting shared content could affect others. If the user may need rollback context, explain that the current Dropbox MCP tools do not expose revision listing or restore operations. If the user wants to preserve a copy first, confirm the exact destination, call copy, and use checkjobstatus for any asynchronous copy job until it completes successfully. After any requested copy has completed successfully, present a deletion review list and ask for explicit confirmation. Call delete only for the exact confirmed items. Use checkjobstatus for any asynchronous copy or deletion job until it completes or must be reported as pending.
