I couldn’t see how you delete a Document. You should have a method like the following.

def delete(request):
    if request.method != 'POST':
        raise HTTP404 # don't forget to import
    else:
        docId = request.POST.get('doc-id', None)

    if docId is not None:
        docToDel = Document.objects.get(pk=docId)

        # delete the file using docToDel.docfile

        docToDel.delete()

    return HttpResponse('Whatever message you want.')

UPDATE 1

If you would like to delete objects automatically when a file deleted directly, you could iterate the Document objects and check if the files are existing or not. But you need to run this procedure before listing or periodically.
