how to delete files using URI

I will offer the experience that I have noticed CI turning "." in my URL into "_" so you may want to try just sending the URL in that format, i.e. base_url() + upload/delete/myimage_jpg/files/64 .

You certainly have a few options here. You could do any of the solutions you suggested. You could also use your .htaccess file to keep Apache from processing the image URL.

Personnaly, I would play around with replacing the "." in the URL with another character and see what you get.
