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

I tested this on my side, but couldn’t reproduce it. Removing the file from the vector store worked for me.

One thing I’d still check is whether you only deleted the vector store file object or if you also tried deleting the underlying file object. Since those are separate, that distinction may matter here.

If it still persists after waiting/retrying and checking that, I’d probably contact Support through the Help Center with the vector store ID, file ID, response details, timestamps and screenshots.
