Have you followed the troubleshooting steps at the technote link in the error?
https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/3

You have retrieve: true, which should just. return the API instance if the Datatable is initialized. There isn't anything obvious in your code. Make sure you aren't using $('#file_table').DataTable() somewhere else in your code which might init Datatables. Please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug.
