How to remove user from team drive using Google drive api and PHP

Question

I have a Google workspace account, and I am creating a php panel to manage the team drives, I can already create the drive and add users, the problem is when I have to remove the user from the team drive, I am not able to.

When I create the drive my user is already in the drive as an administrator what I want to do is add two users and remove mine, from the Google drive panel this is possible, but I am not able to remove my user with the api.

//Create the team drive

    $requestId = $this->user->id.time();
        $client = new ApiGoogleDrive(1000);
        try {
            $teamDrive = $client->createDrive($requestId , $data["name"]);
            //var_dump($teamDrive);
            //saves the data of the created drive in the database
            $myDrive->id_user = $this->user->id;
            $myDrive->id_drive = $teamDrive->getId();
            $myDrive->request_id = $requestId;
            $myDrive->email = $data["email"];
            $myDrive->name = $data["name"];

            if (!$myDrive->save()){
                $json["message"] = $this->message->error("Oops! there was a failure creating the drive.")->render();
                echo json_encode($json);
                return;
            }
        }catch (Exception $exception){
             var_dump($exception);
             return;
        }

try {
            /**
             * add user
             * reference:https://stackoverflow.com/a/55720522/18215077 | https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/permissions
             * Role: organizer, fileOrganizer, writer, commenter, reader
             */
            $service = $client->ServiceDrive();
            $postBody = new Google_Service_Drive_Permission();
            $postBody->setKind('drive#permission');
            $postBody->setEmailAddress($data["email"]);
            $postBody->setType("user");
            //$postBody->setRole("organizer"); // Administrador
            $postBody->setRole("fileOrganizer");
            $optParams = [
                'supportsTeamDrives' => true
            ];


            $drive_id = $teamDrive->getId();
            try {
                $service->permissions->create($drive_id, $postBody, $optParams);
                //$service->permissions->create($drive_id, $apiPostBody, $optParams);
            } catch (Google_Service_Exception $e) {
                //return abort($e->getCode());
                var_dump($e->getCode());
            }

        }catch (Exception $exception){
            var_dump($exception);
        }

But I don't even know where to start when it comes to removing the user from the team drive, could someone show me some example code.

Shared drive permissions can be managed in the same way like any other file permissions

Use the method Permissions: list specifying th eid of the shared Drive as the fileId parameter and set supportsAllDrives to true and fields to *
This will return you a Permissions Resource contianing the associated parameters including the permission id and the emailAddress of the user
Find the permission where the user (and role) matches your search criteria and use the respective permission id as permissionId for the method Permissions: delete
This will allow you to delete the respective permission - and thus, remove the user from the Team Drive (once again, you need to set supportsAllDrives to true)

Please consult the Drive API library for PHP for implementation in PHP
