If your files are not referenced by any object in your app, it is not possible to delete them through the REST API.

```javascript
Parse.Cloud.beforeDelete('Profile', async (req) => {
const profile = req.object;
const profilePhoto = profile.get("photoFile");
await profilePhoto.destroy({ useMasterKey: true })
});
```
