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();
    }
}

使用以下方法删除包含文件的整个主目录及其子目录。再次调用此方法后，调用主目录的delete()目录。

// For to Delete the directory inside list of files and inner Directory
public static boolean deleteDir(File dir) {
    if (dir.isDirectory()) {
        String[] children = dir.list();
        for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
            boolean success = deleteDir(new File(dir, children[i]));
            if (!success) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

    // The directory is now empty so delete it
    return dir.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/");

看到android.os。FileUtils，它隐藏在API 21上

public static boolean deleteContents(File dir) {
    File[] files = dir.listFiles();
    boolean success = true;
    if (files != null) {
        for (File file : files) {
            if (file.isDirectory()) {
                success &= deleteContents(file);
            }
            if (!file.delete()) {
                Log.w("Failed to delete " + file);
                success = false;
            }
        }
    }
    return success;
}

这种方法适用于只包含文件的文件夹，但如果您正在寻找还包含子文件夹的场景，则需要递归

此外，您应该捕获返回的返回值，以确保允许您删除该文件

,包括

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

在你的清单上

void DeleteRecursive(File dir)
{
    Log.d("DeleteRecursive", "DELETEPREVIOUS TOP" + dir.getPath());
    if (dir.isDirectory())
    {
        String[] children = dir.list();
        for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++)
        {
            File temp = new File(dir, children[i]);
            if (temp.isDirectory())
            {
                Log.d("DeleteRecursive", "Recursive Call" + temp.getPath());
                DeleteRecursive(temp);
            }
            else
            {
                Log.d("DeleteRecursive", "Delete File" + temp.getPath());
                boolean b = temp.delete();
                if (b == false)
                {
                    Log.d("DeleteRecursive", "DELETE FAIL");
                }
            }
        }

    }
    dir.delete();
}

你可以像这样递归地删除文件和文件夹:

void deleteRecursive(File fileOrDirectory) {
    if (fileOrDirectory.isDirectory())
        for (File child : fileOrDirectory.listFiles())
            deleteRecursive(child);

    fileOrDirectory.delete();
}
