Hi Jesse, this question is probably better asked on the geoserver list, since it deals with the REST API, but yeah, I don't see any reason why this should not be developed, it just needs to be resourced: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Successfully-requesting-and-integrating-new-features-and-improvements-in-GeoServer
This will also have a GeoTools side though, right now it's not easy to find where the files are before hitting the delete, as from the database we might just get a relative path (only mosaic knows how to make that path absolute, this needs to be exposed to the outside caller somehow, the code in GeoServer cannot have specific knowledge about the mosaic, also because the coverage readers have one or more wrappers around them that make them un-recognizable).
