Hi Yan, The files for registered items can be anywhere, and DSpace assumes it does not have the ability to delete those files. They aren't uploaded and stored to the assetstore as part of the ingest process, whether through the interface or by batch import; only a reference to them is stored. So the only way to get rid of the content files for registered items is to manually delete them from wherever they live.
