Deleting permission in google drive api - google-drive-api

Question

I want to remove a file from shared with me by deleting its permission.
But I can't delete it because of insufficient permissions. How can I delete it?
What I had done so far:
Got the metadata for the file and also its permissionId

And I tried to delete the permission
fileId: 1pPGyU9XvliI4U8910uehkuQ-vuuRXEVD
permissionId: 00202688946253680238
{
"error": {

{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "insufficientFilePermissions",
"message": "The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file."
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file."
}
}
But can't remove the file from shared with me.
EDIT 1:
I am testing this with this
EDIT 2:
I am trying to do this but with the google drive api

Answer 1

You are getting an insufficientFilePermissions error because only the owner of the file can edit them. As you can see:
"ownedByMe": false,
Currently there is no way to remove the files from Shared Files via API, so the options are to ask the owner to stop sharing the file with you or to delete it via the Drive GUI.
EDIT:
It can be done, following these steps:
Get the ID of the file with Drive.list
Get the permissionID using the fileID by permissions.list
You will get two items with two PermissionIDs, copy the one from the item with the "shared with" email, not the owner email.
Delete the permission with permissions.delete using the fileID and
the PermissionID from step 3.
