Question

I have a few zero-byte files in my app folder inside the sdcard which I am not able to delete.

final String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/"+"AppFolder"+"/"+"Music";
         File file=new File(path,filee);
         if(file.exists())
         {
          boolean delete=file.delete();
          Log.d("TAG",""+delete);
         }

‘filee’ here is the name of the file(.mp3).This code does not work as technically the file does not exist.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Answer 1

The code should be ok:

 File file = new File(path);
 boolean isDeleted = file.delete();  

First, please check with the permission and make sure you have this permission:

android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE  

And your path should be something like this:

/sdcard/YourDirectory/filee.mp3
