Michael M How to delete contentdocuments
Hello, I need to delete certain documents. This is the code I've been using:
List<ContentDocumentLink > docs;
docs = [SELECT Id, Linkedentity.name, Linkedentity.id,ContentDocument.CreatedDate
FROM contentDocumentLink
WHERE Linkedentityid
IN (SELECT Id FROM lead where createddate < Last_N_Days:7 ];
delete docs;
After I execute this, it looks like the contentDocumentLinks become deleted, however my storage usage is still the same number and percentage.Will the above code completely delete those files?

Deleting ContentDocumentLink deletes the attachment on a parent object but not delete entirely from the org.
When a ContentDocument is created, two ContentDocumentLink recorsd are created, one with the parent object and the other with the user creating it.

I found the below link which discusses on how to manage the storage and have you tried executing the soql query in the query editor to check if the records are being returned or not?

So how would I need to write the query for the list, that would actually the delete those contentdocuments?
When I run this query: select Id FROM ContentDocumentlink WHERE linkedentityid in (select id from lead ) and contentdocument.createddate < LAST_N_DAYS:1, it returns 63,000 results.
However, when I run this query: select Id FROM ContentDocument WHERE createddate < LAST_N_DAYS:1 , it only returns 52 results. How can there be so many more contentdocumentlinks than content documents?
