This is the API that I was looking at :  
[https://api.frame.io/v2/assets/folder-id/children?include\_deleted=true](https://api.frame.io/v2/assets/folder-id/children?include_deleted=true)

Initially, I had 4 files in the folder and the API response without include\_deleted showed 4 files as expected.

On removing one file and passing the include\_deleted=true flag, I expected it to still show me 4 files. But the result only shows 3 files.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, this bug seems to have been introduced in a recent release and we are investigating.

Actually upon further investigation, this query parameter was actually never supported on this endpoint and was just a documentation error. We’ll work on getting that updated.
