API Endpoint to Delete Task Attachments

Hello ClickUp Team,
We are currently building a deep, real-time synchronization between Jira and ClickUp using your powerful API. The goal is to maintain a perfect mirror of our issues, including their comments and attachments.
We've successfully implemented create and update operations, but have hit a significant roadblock: the API lacks an endpoint to delete an individual attachment.
When an attachment is deleted in Jira, we have no direct way to replicate this action in ClickUp. This forces us to rely on complex and indirect workarounds (like using internal automations triggered by comments), which are less reliable than a dedicated API call.
A DELETE operation for attachments is a fundamental part of a complete CRUD API and a standard feature in comparable platforms. Its absence not only complicates integrations but also leads to a significant accumulation of obsolete and orphaned files within ClickUp tasks. Over time, this results in unnecessary data being stored on ClickUp's servers and clutters the workspace for our users.
We believe adding this functionality would be a major improvement for any team relying on your API for synchronization.
Use Case Example:
Scenario: A user deletes an attachment in Jira, and the change is synced to ClickUp
Given a task in ClickUp with attachment ID "attachment_123" that is synced with a Jira issue
When a user deletes the corresponding attachment in Jira
Then our integration should be able to make a
DELETE /api/v2/attachment/attachment_123
call to successfully remove it from the ClickUp task.Thank you for considering this important feature.
Best regards,
