I want to track everything that apps store in phone memory/on sd card, so I can delete it if the app is uninstalled. Is this possible? If not, how can I get all the files from phone memory/sd card?

there is no way to “track” what your application creates, i think..
generally, the app stores data in the Cache directory, which is :
on a device which supports external storage, the “storage directory” is generally “/mnt/sdcard”
you can read the documentation to learn how to use the External storage to save files you create through your application.
I’d also like to point out that there is no way for you to know when your app is being uninstalled, so you can’t delete the files before uninstall manually anyway,if that’s what you intend to do. The android system itself removes the files stored in your cache directory, though.
