Delete file

DELETE/api/v2/files/{fileId}

Archive a workspace file, retaining its stored bytes and removing API read access. List files with scope=archived finds it; Restore file recovers it. Archiving an already archived file returns 404.

OAuth scope: api:write.

Authentication

Send a personal or workspace API key in X-API-Key. See key types and access; operations that reject workspace keys say so in their description.

Send X-API-Key in the request header.

Alternatively

Send a Sim OAuth access token in Authorization: Bearer. See OAuth authentication and scopes.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Required scopes: api:write

The caller lacks the rights this operation requires. When the cause is one a caller can act on, error.details.code names it. A resource in a workspace the caller cannot reach at all answers 404 instead, so absence and denial are indistinguishable.
