Delete A File

[vb1992]

I was deleting files with B4a today, and the
following command didn't remove the file?

It did find the file with Exists

I checked the manifest file and it does have:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

SplitDir = "/mnt/sdcard"
SplitFile = "test.txt"

 If File.Exists(SplitDir,SplitFile) Then

    Msgbox("File Is being Deleted now!","DELETED")
    
    
 
    File.Delete(SplitDir,SplitFile)
    
    
    Else
    Msgbox("Can't find file!","NOPE")
    End If

I ended up using this and it worked:

 If File.Exists(SplitDir,SplitFile) Then

    Msgbox("File Is being Deleted now!","DELETED")
    
    
 Dim sb As StringBuilder
 sb.Initialize
 
    p.Shell("rm -r " & SplitDir & "/" & SplitFile , Null, sb, Null)  ' free space
    
    
    
    Else
    Msgbox("Can't find file!","NOPE")
    End If

I am more curious why the first snippet didn't work?

I think you need to:

SplitDir = "/mnt/sdcard"   'No

SplitDir = "/mnt/sdcard/"  'Yes

Add a "/", you are doing it on the code that worked.
