Looks like Media Soft Delete is not possible by default. But, according to comment in the below git issue, you could use your own extended Model and Filesystem to add soft delete traits and handlers.

Soft delete spatie media library
Is there a possibility to add soft delete on the media space library? Or extend the model in a way to add soft delete I did not find resources in the documentation I use this version https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-medialibrary/v10/introduction

I looked around more, and one Alternative way could be using media collection with strict convention. Extending, model and filesystem only, is not enough in most cases to add soft delete ability.
// 1. Upload Media to 'files' collection:
$post->addMedia(request()->file('file'))->toMediaCollection('files');
// 2. When Fetching Media to show. Only load 'files' collection:
$post->getMedia('files');
// 3. When Deleting, perform soft delete. By moving to 'trash' collection:
$file = $post->getMedia('files')->first();
$file->move($post, 'trash');
// 4. Later, you can also easily clear 'trash' collection at once using:
$post->getMedia('trash'); // Gets all the trashed media
$post->clearMediaCollection('trash');
