Deleting Files
The fileDelete API call is used to remove files from your company's root folder. This can only be used to delete individual files that you have uploaded to a specific customer's Vault.
It is important to store the "squid_id"s that are returned during upload as these are the only way to target a file.
This is only possible if the user has approved your access.
(see Listing Accounts and Account Details)
