How to delete internal storage file in android?

Question

I have used the Android internal storage to save a file for my application (using openFileOutput) but I would like to delete that file, is it possible and how?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

I know this is a bit of an oldie, but the docs say to use:

deleteFile("filename"); 

rather than:

File.delete(); 

Which if you are already using:

getFilesDir(); 

kind of makes sense.
