Programatic deletion of DAM Assets

I have a file containing a list of several thousand assets (jpg's and gif's)  that need to be deleted from from our CQ 5.4 Dam.

Please could someone advise, the correct way to achieve this?  Is there a specific API to call to remove dam assets or is it ok to simply delete the node ?

Many thanks in advance.

If it is one time deleting is fine. You can use curl or small script to iterate through your list.   Just make sure you delete in batches because the workflow has to run & sync with /var/dam.
