Hello tonypsr,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand being unable to delete a PDF file from your Files app on your iPhone, and we'd be happy to help.


Have you tried to delete the file from a different device if it's stored with iCloud or another cloud service? For iCloud, we can use this link:


iCloud


Also, let's try to restart your device normally, and see if the issue persists:


Restart your iPhone



Let us know the results. We'll be waiting for your response.
