Android Question Folder remove

[Ricardo Bunschoten]

I have a question

I want to remove a folder and i want this under a button.

I only find file.delete option but that is for files and not for folders ?

The folder is located in Android/data/xbmc.org.kodi/files/.kodi/

And i want to remove the folder .kodi which is not empy and has also subfolders with files.

Based on this folder path you will not be able to access it. It is restricted to a different app with this package name.

OK but i am able to unpack to this folder so i can read/write

Or is this simply the way Android works.

 

[Erel]

Is this the exact path? Doesn't it start with /sdcard?

 

[Ricardo Bunschoten]

This is the exact path i use in my code dirrootexternal to acces it It's assigned as sd card memory but since it's a androidbox i am testing code on ít's solderd on the board

You can use this code to delete a folder recursively (be careful...):

Sub DeleteFolderRecursive(Folder As String)
   For Each f As String In File.ListFiles(Folder)
     If File.IsDirectory(Folder, f) Then
       DeleteFolderRecursive (File.Combine(Folder, f))
     End If
     File.Delete(Folder, f)
   Next
End Sub
