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

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

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

B4X:

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
