Description

Deleting files.
Note:
Required permissions: admin, space_admin, or delete_file (when the recycle bin is not enabled or Permanent is 0)/delete_file_permanent (when the recycle bin is enabled and Permanent is 1). For details about permissions, see Generate Access Token API.
If the media library has the recycle bin feature enabled, when the Permanent request parameter is not set to 1, this API does not permanently delete files but moves them to the recycle bin. You can permanently delete or restore files in the recycle bin, or directly empty the recycle bin using relevant APIs.
