Delete a media library file

Removes the file from the library and from the creative editor's picker.

Reference

POST https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/media-library/assets/{assetId}/delete.do

Removes the file from the library and from the creative editor's picker. Creatives already using it keep serving it: the stored file is erased only once no live creative uses it any more. 'usedIn' is the number of live creatives still serving it. A user with shared advertisers may delete only files uploaded for one of their advertisers. Requires the MEDIA_LIBRARY permission and update rights on campaigns.
