I am new to liferay. I am developing delete scheduler, which has to delete documents programatically based on some condition. using DLfileLocalServiceUtil.deleteFileEntry(id) I can delete it, but it is deleting only entry in DlfileEntry table not the actual file stored in file system in server in data folder.

DLfileLocalServiceUtil is used for managing Documents. You need to use 'JournalArticle*Util' APIs to deal with Web Contents. There are multiple Util classes for different purpose. You'll perhaps need JournalArticleLocalServiceUtil.deleteJournalArticle() methods for deleting the web contents.

**But pay attention!** Calling `*LocalServiceUtil` delete method is the wrong way to delete an asset. You have to use XXXServiceUtil! – Daniele Baggio Nov 10 '14 at 09:24

Yes, it is better to use ServiceUtil vs LocalServiceUtil for security reasons (and may be more). – Rushikesh Thakkar Nov 10 '14 at 23:01
