Answer 1

In spite of the incredibly frustrating responses from these techs -- who appear to not thoroughly look at the informative pleas for help by repeatedly asking questions already answered in the inquiry...

I have found an amazingly Simple solution!!....

Go to Settings > device maintenance > storage > documents > select (all pdf and others you don't want) > delete.

That's it!! So simple!! Less than 2 minutes!  Done!!

.... and I am a 55 yr old country bumpkin with absolutely NO computer or tech training!!!

Answer 2

Your solution works for word documents created on the android device.  But it does not work for deleting word files that came as email attachments to the android device.
