Overview

This node operation deletes a specific project upload file in GitLab using the project's ID, a secret key, and the filename. It is useful for managing and cleaning up project files stored in GitLab, especially when you need to remove sensitive or outdated uploads programmatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a project upload file by specifying the project ID, secret, and filename to maintain project storage hygiene.
  2. Automating the removal of specific files uploaded to a GitLab project as part of a CI/CD pipeline cleanup process.
