1. You may delete an artifact or a build via Artifactory GUI or following REST APIs with a user that has Delete permission to the resource
2. Please note that artifacts do not get removed from storage immediately if you have
Trash Can feature enabled (enabled by default). If you would like to delete the artifacts from the Trash Can, you may delete it from the Artifact browser or by running following REST APIs.
3. Even after above steps, Artifactory does not immediately free up filestore because Artifactory runs the delete operation during its
Garbage Collection and only if the binary is not referenced anywhere in the database.
