Deletes a file from the media library permanently, to clean up after yourself: an upload that turned out wrong, or a file the user no longer wants stored (it frees the storage it counted against). The file must be unused - one any Riddle still shows is refused with a message naming those Riddles, since deleting it would leave a broken image behind in a live Riddle; remove it there first (riddle_builder_update, then riddle_publish so the change is live) and delete afterwards. Unused is a property of the file across the whole ACCOUNT, not of one Riddle: several Riddles can use it and any one of them keeps it alive, and a file the Creator lists as in use cannot be forced out from here either. Not reversible, no undo, and the id is not reused, so anything still pointing at the file stops resolving - ask the user before calling this. Returns {deleted: true, mediaId, name, type, size}.
