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");
    }
}

这就是我的工作…(简洁且经过测试)

    ...
    deleteDir(new File(dir_to_be_deleted));
    ...

    // delete directory and contents
    void deleteDir(File file) { 
        if (file.isDirectory())
            for (String child : file.list())
                deleteDir(new File(file, child));
        file.delete();  // delete child file or empty directory
    }

//To delete all the files of a specific folder & subfolder
public static void deleteFiles(File directory, Context c) {
    try {
        for (File file : directory.listFiles()) {
            if (file.isFile()) {
                final ContentResolver contentResolver = c.getContentResolver();
                String canonicalPath;
                try {
                    canonicalPath = file.getCanonicalPath();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    canonicalPath = file.getAbsolutePath();
                }
                final Uri uri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external");
                final int result = contentResolver.delete(uri,
                        MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[]{canonicalPath});
                if (result == 0) {
                    final String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();
                    if (!absolutePath.equals(canonicalPath)) {
                        contentResolver.delete(uri,
                                MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[]{absolutePath});
                    }
                }
                if (file.exists()) {
                    file.delete();
                    if (file.exists()) {
                        try {
                            file.getCanonicalFile().delete();
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                        if (file.exists()) {
                            c.deleteFile(file.getName());
                        }
                    }
                }
            } else
                deleteFiles(file, c);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
}

这是你的解决方案，它也将刷新画廊以及。

有很多答案，但我决定加上我自己的，因为它有点不同。它是基于OOP的;)

我创建了DirectoryCleaner类，每当我需要清理某个目录时，它都会帮助我。

public class DirectoryCleaner {
    private final File mFile;

    public DirectoryCleaner(File file) {
        mFile = file;
    }

    public void clean() {
        if (null == mFile || !mFile.exists() || !mFile.isDirectory()) return;
        for (File file : mFile.listFiles()) {
            delete(file);
        }
    }

    private void delete(File file) {
        if (file.isDirectory()) {
            for (File child : file.listFiles()) {
                delete(child);
            }
        }
        file.delete();

    }
}

可以用下面的方法来解决这个问题:

File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "your_directory_name");
new DirectoryCleaner(dir).clean();
dir.delete();

短柯尔丁版

fun File.deleteDirectory(): Boolean {
    return if (exists()) {
        listFiles()?.forEach {
            if (it.isDirectory) {
                it.deleteDirectory()
            } else {
                it.delete()
            }
        }
        delete()
    } else false
}

更新

Kotlin标准库函数

file.deleteRecursively()

这里是一个非递归的实现，只是为了好玩:

/**
 * Deletes the given folder and all its files / subfolders.
 * Is not implemented in a recursive way. The "Recursively" in the name stems from the filesystem command
 * @param root The folder to delete recursively
 */
public static void deleteRecursively(final File root) {
    LinkedList<File> deletionQueue = new LinkedList<>();
    deletionQueue.add(root);

    while(!deletionQueue.isEmpty()) {
        final File toDelete = deletionQueue.removeFirst();
        final File[] children = toDelete.listFiles();
        if(children == null || children.length == 0) {
            // This is either a file or an empty directory -> deletion possible
            toDelete.delete();
        } else {
            // Add the children before the folder because they have to be deleted first
            deletionQueue.addAll(Arrays.asList(children));
            // Add the folder again because we can't delete it yet.
            deletionQueue.addLast(toDelete);
        }
    }
}
