Delete file from internal storage

Question

I\'m trying to delete images stored in internal storage. I\'ve come up with this so far:

File dir = getFilesDir();
File file = new File(dir, id+\".jpg\");
bo

solution1:

              Uri uriDelete=Uri.parse (adapter.getNoteAt (viewHolder.getAdapterPosition ()).getImageuri ());//getter getImageuri on my object from adapter that returns String with content uri

here I initialize Content resolver and delete it with a passed parameter of that URI

            ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver ();
            contentResolver.delete (uriDelete,null ,null );

solution2(my first solution-from head in this time I do know that ): content resolver exists...

              String path = "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.strba.myapplicationx/files/Readings/" +
                    adapter.getNoteAt (viewHolder.getAdapterPosition ()).getImageuri ().substring (58);

            File file = new File (path);
            if (file != null) {
                file.delete ();
            }

Hope that this will be helpful to someone happy coding
