# Delete File

`DELETE /api/v1alpha1/assistant/{assistant_kind}/files/{file_id}`

Member deletes their own file — bucket object(s) + store record.

Works on both pending (cancels the upload) and active files. Ownership
scoping is identical to ``get_file``/``download_file``: wrong member,
wrong kind, and unknown ``file_id`` are indistinguishable 404s (no
existence oracle).
Refs to a deleted file already in a conversation's history resolve via the
same expired/missing-ref placeholder path as any other reclaimed object —
nothing else to update there.

## Path parameters

- `file_id` string, required
