How to delete a directory(recursively) in Android ?

Just call the below method from anyWhere in the code and just pass the file parameter address eg..

File a=new File("sdcard/example/com");
a.deleteDir(a);


This will call below method and delete the "com" directory...

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();
}


OR


void recursiveDelete (File dirPath) {
String [] ls = dirPath.list ();
for (int idx = 0; idx < ls.length; idx++) {
File file = new File (dirPath, ls [idx]);
if (file.isDirectory ())
recursiveDelete (file);
file.delete ();

}
}
