Is my understanding that you want to use Delete Document smart service to delete some older docs, is that correct? If yes, I have provided link for the documentation. Otherwise please elaborate your use case problem

No It just called Delete Files Created Before, I think it should be provided by a plugin.

Got it! This smart service is part of Content Tools Plugin. I have attached the documentation for the plugin here though it doesnt details about the smart service. 

 see attachment/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/Content-Tools-Documentation.pdf

In absence of documentation, and I have never used this service so may be someone can help you who has used it.

Meanwhile I would suggest you to configure the smart service by passing the folder which has the documents, a delete before date ( can use expression like today()-7 to delete files from a week before), In objects to Delete and batchsize provide 1, set Quick mode to false - and see how it behaves! Similarly try changing values and understand the behavior to get grasp of the configuration.
