# Remove File

> Detach one file from a task.

Detaches the file from the task; it does not delete the underlying file. The file is addressed in the path rather than a request body, since bodies on `DELETE` are unreliable through proxies. Returns the updated task.

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl --location --request DELETE 'https://api.wordsmith.ai/api/v1/tasks/9f8e7d6c-5b4a-3210-9876-543210fedcba/files/7c9e6679-7425-40de-944b-e07fc1f90ae7' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const response = await fetch("https://api.wordsmith.ai/api/v1/tasks/9f8e7d6c-5b4a-3210-9876-543210fedcba/files/7c9e6679-7425-40de-944b-e07fc1f90ae7", {
    method: "DELETE",
    headers: {
      Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
  });
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  url = "https://api.wordsmith.ai/api/v1/tasks/9f8e7d6c-5b4a-3210-9876-543210fedcba/files/7c9e6679-7425-40de-944b-e07fc1f90ae7"
  headers = {
      "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
  }

  response = requests.delete(url, headers=headers)
  print(response.json())
  ```
