这是kotlin选项。它运行得很好。

fun executeDelete(context: Context, paths: List<String>): Int {
    return try {
        val files = paths.map { File(it) }
        val fileCommands = files.joinToString(separator = " ") {
            if (it.isDirectory) "'${it.absolutePath}/'" else "'${it.absolutePath}'"
        }
        val command = "rm -rf $fileCommands"
        val process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(arrayOf("sh", "-c", command))
        val result = process.waitFor()
        if (result == 0) {
            context.rescanPaths(paths)
        }
        result
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        -1
    }
}

//避免在一行中多次调用，它可以删除整个文件夹内容

fun Context.rescanPaths(paths: List<String>, callback: (() -> Unit)? = null) {
if (paths.isEmpty()) {
    callback?.invoke()
    return
}

var cnt = paths.size
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(applicationContext, paths.toTypedArray(), null) { _, _ ->
    if (--cnt == 0) {
        callback?.invoke()
    }
}
}

最快最简单的方法:

public static boolean deleteFolder(File removableFolder) {
        File[] files = removableFolder.listFiles();
        if (files != null && files.length > 0) {
            for (File file : files) {
                boolean success;
                if (file.isDirectory())
                    success = deleteFolder(file);
                else success = file.delete();
                if (!success) return false;
            }
        }
        return removableFolder.delete();
}

我们可以使用命令行参数删除整个文件夹及其内容。

public static void deleteFiles(String path) {

    File file = new File(path);

    if (file.exists()) {
        String deleteCmd = "rm -r " + path;
        Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
        try {
            runtime.exec(deleteCmd);
        } catch (IOException e) { }
    }
}

以上代码的使用示例:

deleteFiles("/sdcard/uploads/");

public static void deleteDirectory( File dir )
{

    if ( dir.isDirectory() )
    {
        String [] children = dir.list();
        for ( int i = 0 ; i < children.length ; i ++ )
        {
         File child =    new File( dir , children[i] );
         if(child.isDirectory()){
             deleteDirectory( child );
             child.delete();
         }else{
             child.delete();

         }
        }
        dir.delete();
    }
}

这是另一种(现代)解决方法。

public class FileUtils {
    public static void delete(File fileOrDirectory) {
        if(fileOrDirectory != null && fileOrDirectory.exists()) {
            if(fileOrDirectory.isDirectory() && fileOrDirectory.listFiles() != null) {      
                Arrays.stream(fileOrDirectory.listFiles())
                      .forEach(FileUtils::delete);
            }
            fileOrDirectory.delete();
        }
    }
}

从API 26开始在Android上运行

public class FileUtils {

    public static void delete(File fileOrDirectory)  {
        if(fileOrDirectory != null) {
            delete(fileOrDirectory.toPath());
        }
    }

    public static void delete(Path path)  {
        try {
            if(Files.exists(path)) {
                Files.walk(path)
                        .sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder())
                        .map(Path::toFile)
//                      .peek(System.out::println)
                        .forEach(File::delete);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

从目录中删除所有文件的简单方法:

它是一个通用函数，用于删除目录中的所有图像

deleteAllImageFile(背景);

public static void deleteAllFile(Context context) {
File directory = context.getExternalFilesDir(null);
        if (directory.isDirectory()) {
            for (String fileName: file.list()) {
                new File(file,fileName).delete();
            }
        }    
    }
