Feature Request/Idea: Allow the Deletion of Auxiliary Files via API #8235

@raprasad

Description

@raprasad

Overview of the Feature Request
Currently the Dataverse API includes endpoints to add or download Auxiliary Files as described in the documentation: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/developers/aux-file-support.html

However, there is no way to delete an auxiliary file that is accidentally or incorrectly added. Please add an API endpoint to remove an existing auxiliary file.

What kind of user is the feature intended for?
An API User who has permissions to add auxiliary files

What inspired the request?
Testing with a Dataverse-integrated application prompted the request after duplicate auxiliary files were added as well as an incorrectly formatted auxiliary files. As these are auxiliary files we did not consider them falling under the same category as regular data files--which would need to be formally de-accessioned.
