Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 4 includes/file.inc \file_delete()
2. 5 includes/file.inc \file_delete()
3. 6 includes/file.inc \file_delete()
4. 7 includes/file.inc \file_delete()

Deletes a file and its database record.

Instead of directly deleting a file, it is strongly recommended to delete file usages instead. That will automatically mark the file as temporary and remove it during cleanup.

Parameters

$fid: The file id.
