Vector Store file delete is not removing the file from vector store
OpenAI Developer Community
May 8, 2026
I am using vector store api to delete the file from Vector Store. The response is successful, but it’s still showing the file in the vector store.
Here is the API:
https://api.openai.com/v1/vector_stores/vs_69fc5568ff8481919cddb7afc0474a4a/files/file-9UrFabvtT5bvPnjoNMD44t
getting response:
{
"id": "file-9UrFabvtT5bvPnjoNMD44t",
"object": "vector_store.file.deleted",
"deleted": true
}
But still getting the file in the vector store files list.
I have tried multiple times to delete the file, but it’s not being deleted from VectorStore.
Note: I have been getting this problem since yesterday only; before that, it was working fine.
