file.Delete(file.DirInternal,"filename.txt")

DirInternal is the Data directory of your app

What error do you get?
Is it a permissions issue or a path issue?
Check the logs.

Have a look into the logs to find out what the actual issue is.
The Logs tab is on the right side of the IDE.

Is your device rooted?
Try connecting with adb and see the permissions in that directory using: 'ls -l'
You can also use shell commands but you will not be able to see any feedback if it was successful or not.
