API not deleting attachments

A couple of years ago, there was a bug where if the file attachment was deleted by an API that the File management system  and also your statistics still showed that the file existed and you were consuming space against  your file attachment limits  

at the time, they definitely fix that bug because I had been working with a client to purge thousands of files attachments and they did fix the bug.  

If you can actually prove to Quickbase support that that is once again happening then that would be a legitimate bug.

Hi all and thanks for input. Again i have attempted the above. The file itself is removed from the form, however it still appears in file attachments in app manager.

Below is the output from the pipeline call

Have you tried going into the field properties for the File attachment field and setting the number of revisions to retain at 1?   Are you OK with not retaining previous versions?
