Double-checking, I'm not entirely sure what the motivation is here. The client is needed to properly delete it from OpenAI's servers. Even if the reference is deleted from LC, it will still exist on the Assistant/OpenAI if initialization fails for some reason

Hi Danny. If only Azure OpenAI is enabled (and not OpenAI) the documents will fail to be deleted when the OpenAI initiation fails.

The current code assumes that an OpenAI key is always present, which is not always the case.
