Use the remove_file method to remove user installed files or scripts from Vantage.
Required arguments:
- file_identifier specifies the name associated with the user installed file. It cannot have a database name associated with it, as the file is always installed in the current database.

- If set to False, which is the default value, then an error is thrown if it is being executed.
