A refused call costs nothing and says what to do next.
| Code | When | What to do |
|---|---|---|
not_found404 | No file of the business has that file_id. | Find it with files_list. |
in_use409 | The file is a receipt in the books, a bank statement its lines came from, a bill's PDF, an HR document, part of a signature request, or the PDF of an invoice, credit note, quote or purchase order as it was sent (kept as long as the business's records are). | Take it off there first, as the message says; a sent document's PDF stays. |
