我知道的最安全的代码:

private boolean recursiveRemove(File file) {
    if(file == null  || !file.exists()) {
        return false;
    }

    if(file.isDirectory()) {
        File[] list = file.listFiles();

        if(list != null) {

            for(File item : list) {
                recursiveRemove(item);
            }

        }
    }

    if(file.exists()) {
        file.delete();
    }

    return !file.exists();
}

检查文件是否存在，处理空值，检查目录是否被实际删除

private static 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]);
            deleteRecursive(temp);
        }

    }

    if (dir.delete() == false)
    {
        Log.d("DeleteRecursive", "DELETE FAIL");
    }
}

这是kotlin选项。它运行得很好。

fun executeDelete(context: Context, paths: List<String>): Int {
    return try {
        val files = paths.map { File(it) }
        val fileCommands = files.joinToString(separator = " ") {
            if (it.isDirectory) "'${it.absolutePath}/'" else "'${it.absolutePath}'"
        }
        val command = "rm -rf $fileCommands"
        val process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(arrayOf("sh", "-c", command))
        val result = process.waitFor()
        if (result == 0) {
            context.rescanPaths(paths)
        }
        result
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        -1
    }
}

//避免在一行中多次调用，它可以删除整个文件夹内容

fun Context.rescanPaths(paths: List<String>, callback: (() -> Unit)? = null) {
if (paths.isEmpty()) {
    callback?.invoke()
    return
}

var cnt = paths.size
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(applicationContext, paths.toTypedArray(), null) { _, _ ->
    if (--cnt == 0) {
        callback?.invoke()
    }
}
}

根据文档:

如果此抽象路径名不表示目录，则此方法返回null。

所以你应该检查listFiles是否为空，如果不是则继续

boolean deleteDirectory(File path) {
    if(path.exists()) {
        File[] files = path.listFiles();
        if (files == null) {
            return false;
        }
        for (File file : files) {
            if (file.isDirectory()) {
                deleteDirectory(file);
            } else {
                boolean wasSuccessful = file.delete();
                if (wasSuccessful) {
                    Log.i("Deleted ", "successfully");
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return(path.delete());
}

这(尝试删除所有子文件和子目录，包括提供的目录):

如果是文件，删除 如果是空目录，请删除 如果不是空目录，再次调用删除子目录，重复1到3

例子:

File externalDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
Utils.deleteAll(externalDir); //BE CAREFUL.. Will try and delete ALL external storage files and directories

访问“外部存储目录”需要具备以下权限:

(使用ContextCompat。checkSelfPermission和ActivityCompat.requestPermissions)

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

递归方法:

public static boolean deleteAll(File file) {
    if (file == null || !file.exists()) return false;

    boolean success = true;
    if (file.isDirectory()) {
        File[] files = file.listFiles();
        if (files != null && files.length > 0) {
            for (File f : files) {
                if (f.isDirectory()) {
                    success &= deleteAll(f);
                }
                if (!f.delete()) {
                    Log.w("deleteAll", "Failed to delete " + f);
                    success = false;
                }
            }
        } else {
            if (!file.delete()) {
                Log.w("deleteAll", "Failed to delete " + file);
                success = false;
            }
        }
    } else {
        if (!file.delete()) {
            Log.w("deleteAll", "Failed to delete " + file);
            success = false;
        }
    }
    return success;
}

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();
}
