Hi im trying to delete a .png file with the help of the binaries-API using Postman… While the almost similar structured request “[GET] → Retrieve a stored File” is working properly and is carrying the file within the response. The “[DELETE] → Remove a stored File” request executed with the same managedObjectID returns with a 404 - not found. #### What product/components do you use and which version/fix level are you on? Postman Version 7.36.7 #### Is your question related to the free trial, or to a production (customer) instance? Customer #### What are you trying to achieve? Please describe it in detail. Delete File with the binaries-API #### Do you get any error messages? Please provide a **full error** message screenshot and log file. 404 not found #### Have you installed all the latest fixes for the products and systems you are using? ---

@thomasH Can you post the whole URL of GET and DELETE including the id you wanted to delete? I guess there either something wrong in the url, id or in the headers. For me it is working fine. DELETE gives me 204 when deleting a binary: Example: ```auto DELETE {{url}}/inventory/binaries/241031 Response: 204 No Content ``` ---

Deleted successfully for me, just turning the GET into a DELETE. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/cumulocity/original/3X/5/4/5498b0ff8cf8a2b9320a0e7236e9157ced05b497.png) ---
