Overview

This node operation deletes a specific project upload file in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing project files by removing unwanted or outdated uploads securely via their secret and filename identifiers. For example, a user can automate cleanup of project uploads by specifying the project ID, the secret key of the upload, and the filename to delete that particular file.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate deletion of project upload files in GitLab to maintain storage hygiene.
  2. Remove sensitive or outdated files from a GitLab project programmatically.
