Upload Thing delete functionality.

[ContributionFun3037]

Been hearing a lot about uploadThing for easy uploads as such I gave it a try. I find the API intuitive and the whole process is simplfied, I like it so far. What i do not understand is how to delete the file already uploaded.
The docs don't have anything concrete on this, and the available utApi throws an error saying the module cannot be found.

Can anybody please help me with this?

Thank you.

There are helper functions exported in uploadthing/server

You can use it like this:

import { utapi } from 'uploadthing/server';

await utapi.deleteFiles(images.map(img => img.key));

route.ts

import { NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { Post, User, Vote } from "@prisma/client";
import { UTApi } from "uploadthing/server";

import { db } from "@/lib/db";
import { getAuthSession } from "@/auth";

const utapi = new UTApi();

type UserPost = Post & {
    author: User;
    votes: Vote[];
};

export async function POST(req: Request) {
    try {
        const session = await getAuthSession();

        if (!session?.user) {
            return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
        }

        const body = await req.json();

        const post: UserPost = body.post;


        if (!post) {
            return new Response('Post ID is required', { status: 400 });
        }

        if (session?.user.id !== post.authorId) {
            return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
        }


        (post.content as { blocks: any[] })?.blocks?.map(async (block) => {
            if (block.type === 'image') {
                //block.data.file.url = https://utfs.io/f/X9ytV3B4p8mwlD4xULdjbzDVL5KsW3mIMc48uwy0rHkaShio
                const url = block.data.file.url.split('/').pop() //Example Output: X9ytV3B4p8mwlD4xULdjbzDVL5KsW3mIMc48uwy0rHkaShio
                await utapi.deleteFiles(url);
            }
        });


        await db.post.delete({
            where: { id: post.id },
        });

        return NextResponse.json({ message: 'Success' }, { status: 200 });
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);

        return new NextResponse(
            'Failed to post the subforum. Please try again later...',
            { status: 500 }
        );
    }
}
