#5310 closed enhancement (fixed)
XMLRPC interface should expose mechanism for listing and deleting media resources

Description
Right now the XMLRPC interface supports the "newMediaObject" mechanism that is part of the MetaWeblog API, but lacks any method for inspecting or otherwise manipulating media objects.
I think to support a richer remote client experience, the XLMRPC interface should support at least a method for listing the media objects that have been previously uploaded (similar to what appears in the "Browse" tab of the wp-admin post editor), and for deleting a media asset that is present.

We now have a method for listing items in the media library (wp.getMediaLibrary) but still none for deleting media items.

... but still none for deleting media items.
Actually, since media items are really just a post type, you can use wp.deletePost method to delete them. Likewise, you can use wp.editPost to modify most of the media item fields (except image and alt-text, the latter of which is a protected meta).
It might be nice to have a simple wrapper to make this more obvious to new users, or else add some documentation to the Codex.

I wonder if the alias should be called wp.deleteFile, for consistency with wp.uploadFile. See 5310.diff.

Replying to DrewAPicture:
+1 for swapping the aliases.
Agreed.
I think wp.deleteFile is a better name and more consistent with the others.
itching to move this in Media
