    This function is a low-level API which should be used in restricted
    scenarios.

    If local_only is false, the request will be send to all object stores.

    This method will not return any value to indicate whether the deletion is
    successful or not. This function is an instruction to the object store. If
    some of the objects are in use, the object stores will delete them later
    when the ref count is down to 0.

    Examples:
        >>> x_id = f.remote()
        >>> ray.get(x_id)  # wait for x to be created first
        >>> free([x_id])  # unpin & delete x globally

    Args:
        object_refs (List[ObjectRef]): List of object refs to delete.
        local_only (bool): Whether only deleting the list of objects in local
            object store or all object stores.
        delete_creating_tasks (bool): Whether also delete the object creating
            tasks.
