resources

Delete a resource

Deletes the resource, its files and its indexed passages. Refused with conflict while an assistant that reads only chosen resources (knowledge: selected) lists it: remove it from the assistant first. An assistant that reads everything, or a tag, simply reads one resource fewer.

Requires resources:delete.

Deleting is permanent. Lookio removes the resource’s passages from the index first, then the resource and its files. If the index cannot be cleaned, the call fails with service_unavailable and nothing changes: retry.

A resource that an assistant uses by name cannot be deleted. Remove it from the assistant first, or the call fails with conflict. An assistant that reads all resources, or a tag, simply reads one fewer. See Deleting things.
