Describe the bug

When using chunk upload for the vue-filepond, we use removeFiles() method to clear the queue when finished processing successfully. However, this methods also sends additional delete request to the server when it is not required.

How can we prevent this request.

My versions:
"filepond": "^4.30.3",
"filepond-plugin-file-validate-size": "^2.2.5",
"filepond-plugin-file-validate-type": "^1.2.6",
"vue": "^3.2.23",
"vue-filepond": "^7.0.2",

Reproduction

In order to reproduce the issue, please try chunk upload options.

Environment

- Device: Dell XPS laptop
- OS: Windows 11
- Browser: Chrome.

I think you can set allowRevert to false

Is it allowRevert or revert ? Anyways, tried my luck but still it makes a DELETE request.

Looking at the removeFiles implementation should work, not sure why it doesn't, swamped with work so can't investigate right now

This is still an issue, can there not just be added a clearFileList method? That doesn't make removeFile event run?
Right now I am having to destroy the filepond instance each time, and reinitialize it to handle this issue..

Having the same issue. The removeFile() method is triggering the revert function even if I set {revert: false}

pond.removeFile(file.id, {
    revert: false,
});

@ahl-asg if you want to clear the list you can set the files property to an empty array.

@z4yed I just tested this but it does seem to work?

@rikschennink as per my check, it seems the issue remains while uploading chunks. Could you please check again?

[rikschennink]

@z4yed ah sorry, for some reason I completely missed that this was about chunks.

Can you create a similar reproduction on stackblitz but with chunks?
