I live in New Jersey and work in Delaware.  I have Delaware state tax deducted from my paycheck.  Do I file my taxes with the state of Delaware?  Also, do I need to file with the state of New Jersey?

You file in both states - in DE as a non-resident and in NJ as a resident.  You should first complete the DE form - they will tax you on earnings that you made in DE.  Then you do your NJ taxes - they will tax you on your total income, but will give you a credit for the taxes you had to pay to DE.  Result is you aren't taxed twice on yor DE wages.
