If there is need to delete file from CLI instead of using Web login / Desktop client then use:

curl -u <owncloud-username>:<owncloud-password> -X DELETE https://<owncloud-fqdn-or-ip>/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/<path-of-file-to-be-deleted-with-respect-to-user-./>

If there are special characters in above https:// path then we need to URL encode them.
