File API does not delete files upon request

Closed this issue 5 months ago · 7 comments

genai.delete_file(frame.response.name), buffers forever. There is no response, no error, just buffering until I cancel the call.

Hi, can you provide more information? What language are you using? Is it a colab notebook? Is it a local colab notebook? thanks!

Answer 2 · 2024-04-15T14:33:34.000Z

I'm using Python, and its a local file (just a .py), not a notebook.

Thanks! Is it possible to share the code with me so I can debug further?

Sorry, I'm not sure I still have it. I will try and find it for you though.

The example's working fine in colab, I don't think we can help without sone way to reproduce this.

Deleting files via REST API also works fine. Using the provided files/sjkdfsdi name to delete it. The name can be retrieved using the list_files method.

I used this approach in my Gemini SDK for .NET. Works nicely.
