# Delete file

`POST /files-api/v2/projects/{projectId}/file/delete`

This removes the file from Smartling. The file will no longer be available for download. Any complete translations for the file remain available for use within the system.

Smartling deletes files asynchronously and it typically takes a few minutes to complete. While deleting a file, you can not upload a file with the same `fileUri`.
