Android Question Database question

[anaylor01]

Certain records in certain tables were being deleted and determined the code below was doing it. Can someone explain to me exactly how it works?

'    File.Delete(File.DirDefaultExternal, dbfilename)
'    File.Delete(File.DirInternal, dbfilename)

Those lines delete files, not records (they delete a db file)

That is what I thought but the database was always there and working. The only thing different was records were missing

Those lines delete the DBs in:
File.DirDefaultExternal
File.DirInternal

You are working on the DB you initialized passing a path.

I have read many times questions like this; often the programmer has an error during initialization of the db (he checks the existence of the DB file, he wants to replace it with a new version, etc).

Here is what it HAS to be. There are two copies of the database. It's the only explanation. I was thinking the only copy was the db under the Files folder but there has to be one in the emulator.
