Hello Rachel,

Thankyou for the response, but I was looking for a way to delete files using API or OOTB methods.

Hello Aditya,

When I pass the complete path for '<Document Library Name'>, I get a Relative Path error.

Can you share a example how to update the filename.

The OOTB does not allow to delete file with special character. What is the ideal way to delete a file from SharePoint having special characters in the name i.e. %ST.414%.pdf.

Thanks & Regards

Open the document library and hover over the file you want to rename.
Click the ellipses (...) to the right of the item name, and then click Rename.
In the Rename dialog, type the new name into the field, and then click Save.

Regards,

Rachel Gomez
