Answer 2

You can use the rm command with the -r option to delete a non-empty folder.

 C:\> adb shell $ rm -r /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/mydirectory/ 

NOTE. rmdir can only delete a non-empty folder.

Answer 3

Please use the below method to delete a folder from sdcard

 // Deletes all files and subdirectories under dir. // Returns true if all deletions were successful. // If a deletion fails, the method stops attempting to delete and returns false. public static boolean deleteDir(File dir) { if (dir.isDirectory()) { String[] children = dir.list(); for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) { boolean success = deleteDir(new File(dir, children[i])); if (!success) { return false; } } } // The directory is now empty so delete it return dir.delete(); } 

write the code below for the deleteDir () method of the call

 // Delete an empty directory boolean success = (new File("directorypath")).delete(); if (!success) { // Deletion failed Message } 

Answer 4

 boolean success = ( new File("/data/data/yourpackege/New Folder")).delete(); if (!success) { // Deletion failed Message Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"not deleted : ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); }else{ Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext()," deleted : ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); }
