Android Question Delete all files in a directory

[Marcos Alves]

Hello,

I'm trying file.delete(dir,"*.*") but it's not working... how can I do that?

I would use one of the many read file names in folder routines that can be found in this forum and once you have read the file name I would then delete the file. You could also read and store the file names into a list, once you have finished populating the list you have all the file names that you can then delete, there are plenty of ways to do what you are looking for...

Get a list of all files and folders recursively https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-get-list-of-files-using-wildcards-iii.44922/
Start with removing all files first. then delete the folders. Start with the "deepest" folder

Thanks Don! As I noticed, the "*" doesn't work... so, this is the solution.
