A `DELETE` HTTP request is sent to a specific URL containing `fileId` and `revisionId` path parameters. The request body must be empty. Successful deletion, applicable only to binary content files (e.g., images, videos), results in an empty response body. The operation requires specific OAuth scopes for authorization, including `drive`, `drive.appdata`, or `drive.file`. Revisions for non-binary files or the last remaining version cannot be deleted.\n"]]
