I’m trying to delete a file from a vector\_store, but firts I need to show a list of the available documents to remove. So I’m using the structure: self.client.beta.vector\_stores.files …

This is generating the error ‘Beta’ object has no attribute ‘vector\_stores’. For which I undestant that I can no longer use “beta.vector\_sotores.” Any idea on what do I have to use now?

Thanks!

Just remove the word “.beta” from methods, update the SDK if it is blocking that, and you are golden.

Vector stores has been un-beta’d, as a component that can be used with the Responses API.

The rest of assistants is unlikely to leave _beta_ or progress much, as Responses should be the target of future OpenAI improvements to bring new threads-like features.

This is just a change in SDK libraries that should have had duplicated or aliased vector store methods so as to not break existing applications.
