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.

Hello Rachel,

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