Remove deletes a path.

DELETE/v1/files
Remove deletes a path. Removing an absent path succeeds. A nonrecursive removal of a nonempty directory returns FAILED_PRECONDITION unchanged. A recursive removal that stops partway still answers OK: check RemoveResponse.failed_path, not the operation status. Removed paths stay removed.

Connection and access

API connection and authentication guidance

{endpoint}

endpoint: The sandbox API base URL from Sandbox.core.endpoint.uri; preserve its path prefix when appending /v1 routes. HTTP endpoints require a scoped endpoint bearer; direct Unix sockets use socket access control.

Use one of these alternatives. Requirements within an alternative apply together.
