DELETE /openapi/memorylake/api/v1/drives/items/{item_id}
Permanently deletes a file or folder. Deleting a folder also deletes everything inside it, recursively.
This is destructive and irreversible. If the item is a folder, every file and subfolder under it is removed. Confirm with the user before calling this endpoint.
Deleting a file that is referenced by one or more project documents does not automatically remove those documents. Call Remove Documents first if you want the documents to disappear from a project.
