Hi Mike,

As is explained in the docs, the FR must be referenced by a data value. If
the FR is referenced it will not be deleted.

The FR object is not usable by itself, so the upload to the
api/*/fileResources is step 1 of 2 in the process of uploading a file (it
needs to be tied to a DV afterwards).

In practice this means that in order to use FR you need to create data
elements (and datasets) to contain your files.

Hope that answers your question. If not, please let me know.
