There seems to be no documentation on how to delete Survey123 attachments. Is it actually feasible?

Is deleting the complete feature layer record required/necessary? (and if so, how can one be sure that the attachment was deleted, since the link to it was deleted?!)

Can the survey record be retained, but the attachment & relationship deleted?

Edit: My surveys and their attachements are stored in an ArcGIS Online Feature Service.

According to Esri github community issue page, they have provided a way to do this:

Once submitted, photos will be stored as geodatabase attachments, which can be deleted from the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer and ArcGIS Pro

Also, to add to this response, Esri on it's survey123 help page or update survey, does mention

Can I modify an existing survey? Before you publish a survey, you can modify the survey, such as changing the question label, adding questions, reordering questions, or deleting questions.

Once a survey is published, you can make limited modifications to it. Edits that do not require changing the schema of the feature service can be made without issue.

Deleting attachments from a ArcGIS Online Feature Service that stores Survey123 features is feasible by interacting with the service URL. Carmel provided a working answer on Geonet, here.
