DELETE /settings/reports/file-event-report/included-paths/{id} HTTP/1.1
Host: 
Authorization: Basic username:password

Accept: */*

No content

Replace {id} with the identifier of the path you want to remove. You can obtain this identifier from the response of the GET request to view included paths.

Attention! Be specific with your paths to avoid unintentional exclusions. For example, including /var/foo and excluding /var/foo/bar will include /var/foo/baz.txt but exclude /var/foo/bar/other1/test.bin.
