# Delete file

Delete owned file content and release storage reservations safely.

`DELETE /v1/files/{file_id}`

## Availability

This page preserves the corresponding public documentation URL. The endpoint is not enabled for public use yet. A request example describes the intended interface, not a claim of deployed support. Consult the capability matrix and your access configuration before integration.

## Deletion receipt

A successful receipt contains the owned file id and deleted=true only after physical object deletion is acknowledged. A failed physical delete retains quota and remains scheduled for retry.

## Account isolation

A foreign or unknown file must not disclose ownership through a successful deletion response. Account removal, upload crashes, expiry and delayed writes also require scheduled cleanup independent of customer traffic.
