function file_delete

1.20.x file.inc file_delete($fid)

Deletes a file and its database record.

Instead of directly deleting a file, it is strongly recommended to delete file usages instead. That will automatically mark the file as temporary and remove it during cleanup.

Parameters

$fid: The file id.
