With respect to the created zoom app titled **“EVA\_2022\_Delete”** in the account number **7015470394** , the DELETE API (Link: [Zoom Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods#tag/Cloud-Recording)) doesn’t seem to be working since the 18th of this month. Despite the videos being present in the storage, the API is returning a status of 404 with the message saying “3001: This recording doesn’t exist”. Due to this malfunction, the zoom storage is being exhausted. Hence, I believe that this would be an error from zoom’s end, as the API was working as intended before 2022-04-18, and from this date, all API calls are incorrectly returning a 404 status. Please provide a rectification for this issue at the earliest, as it is resulting in an exhaustion of resources. ---
