I have created a file stored on internal storage from an activity. How can I delete this file from another activity?

I’m thinking I’ll have to get the file’s directory (which I’m not sure how to) and delete it. I tried using

context.deleteFile(); 

but it won’t work because I’m trying to call it from a non-static method.

    Here is your answer :

    File dir = getFilesDir();
    File file = new File(dir, "my_filename");
    boolean deleted = file.delete();
