Question

How can I delete an image file from sd card. I have tried:

File file=new File(filepath);  
file.delete();

but I could not delete it. when I try to inspect it in debug mode, file.delete() is returning false.
I have also added permission in my Manifest file.

uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" 

I also tried with:

public abstract boolean deleteFile (String name)

method from andoid context. Even that returns false.

Answer 1

File file = new File(selectedFilePath);
boolean deleted = file.delete();
