        formData.append('file', imageFile)
        formData.append('upload_preset', Routes.CLOUDINARY_PRESET)
        await axios.post(Routes.CLOUDINARY_API, formData)
          .then(function (res) {
            imageURL = res.data.secure_url
          })
          .catch(function (err) {
            console.log("err", err)
          })

While you can upload to Cloudinary through the client-side, you cannot delete resources for security reasons. If you would like to delete the resource then signature also needs to be passed as a param.

It is recommended to generate signature server-side as that requires you to expose your account's API secret.
