## Delete a file

`files.delete(strfile_id, FileDeleteParams**kwargs)  -> FileDeleteResponse`

**delete** `/v5/files/{file_id}`

Delete a file by id, removing its database record.

This is a hard delete: the file's row is removed from the database, not
soft-archived. The underlying stored object is deleted only when no other
file record still references the same stored content (identical checksum and
MIME type); when another record shares the blob, the blob is retained. If the
id refers to an incomplete multipart upload placeholder, its staged parts are
aborted instead. Returns a confirmation carrying the deleted file's id.

### Parameters

- `file_id: str`

- `x_project_id: Optional[str]`

### Returns

- `class FileDeleteResponse: …`

  - `id: str`

  - `deleted: bool`

  - `object: Optional[Literal["file"]]`

    - `"file"`

### Example

```python
import os
from scale_gp_beta import SGPClient

client = SGPClient(
    api_key=os.environ.get("SGP_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
file = client.files.delete(
    file_id="file_id",
)
print(file.id)
```

#### Response

```json
{
  "id": "id",
  "deleted": true,
  "object": "file"
}
```
