# Delete Workspace File

`DELETE /v1/files/{file_path}`

Archive a workspace file instead of destroying it.

The object moves under ``.trash/{timestamp}/`` and disappears from the
listing, so a mistaken delete is always recoverable through
:func:`restore_workspace_file`. Task-owned and staging paths are not
deletable here: they belong to a task's committed manifest, not to the
workspace library.
