File adapter request and response for a delete action
When you use a context item as an input for an adapter request, you must enclose the adapter request in the <request-data> elements. However, when you create a static request, <request-data> is not required and the adapter request starts with the <adapterName-adapter-request> element.
The Delete action can be performed on any file. The absolute path of the file is required to delete a file through the Delete adapter request.
