# Delete file (/api-reference/files/deleteFile)

`DELETE /api/v2/files/{fileId}`

## Description
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`.

## Parameters

- **fileId** (path) (required) — `string`: File identifier.

- **workspaceId** (query) (required) — `string`: Workspace that owns the file.

## Responses

### 200 — Deletion confirmation.

### 400 — The request is invalid. This includes a query parameter sent with no value (`?limit=`, `?search=`), which is rejected rather than read as zero, empty, or the parameter default — omit the parameter instead.

### 403 — 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.
