Vijay,

You can delete a directory using the following code

new File( Path).delete();

But if the folder is not empty; the code will not work; go through the following code to delete the child.

// using recursive function call, the child files/dirs will get deleted
public boolean deleteDirectory( File path) 
{
	if( path.exists() ) 
	{
      		File[] files = path.listFiles();
		 for(int i=0; i<files.length; i++) 
		{
		        if(files<i>.isDirectory()) 
		        {
			 deleteDirectory(files<i>);
		         }else{
			  files<i>.delete();
		         }
		}
}
    return( path.delete() );
}

Hi,

Make use of the delete method from the file

API

boolean delete()

Deletes the file or directory denoted by this abstract pathname.
