Deleting file from internal storage

How do I delete a file or folder on the internal storage in android with Delphi for android

Solution

  • You should use the TFile and TDirectory classes in the System.IOUtils unit.

    For example: 

    TDirectory.Delete(<YOUR DIR PATH>);

    or 

    TFile.Delete(<YOUR FILE PATH>);

    Look in Embarcadero's documentation to get the right path of your files and folders on the various platforms:
