Vector Store file delete is not removing the file from vector store

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.
