  Hello Amay, 

  Having to pass folder ID 0 just means that the endpoint is going to transfer any owned content of the user to another user, but you will want to use this endpoint: https://developer.box.com/reference/put-users-id-folders-0/. This is necessary before deleting a user because otherwise any owned content is deleted with the user.

  Best,
