Answer 1

You must use, default method: appendingPathComponent()

Answer 2

The problem is that you're appending string to another string resulting in wrong path to the file like file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<stripped>/DocumentsFinalVideo.mov

You should use appendingPathComponent() instead:

func createPath() -> URL {
    let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)
    let documentDirectory = URL(fileURLWithPath: paths.first!)
    let url = documentDirectory.appendingPathComponent("FinalVideo.mov")

    if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: url.path) {
        try? FileManager.default.removeItem(at: url)
    }

    return url
}
