Delete a File
DELETE/api/files/{source}/{id}
Soft-deletes the metadata row through the core model, so the RISE activity log still fires, and then removes the stored bytes exactly as the RISE interface does. The location is rebuilt from the stored row, resolved with realpath() and skipped unless it is inside the configured files directory. That check runs for every row, including rows held by an external storage service, because the core file deletion falls back to a local unlink whenever the plugin behind a service_type is not installed.
