You can do it like this, Get the Path of folder that you want to delete with all files and then delete all files one by one.

File dir = new File("/data/directory_name/");

if (dir.isDirectory()) {
        String[] children = dir.list();
        for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
            new File(dir, children[i]).delete();
        }
    }

You want to delete all files inside data folder? – Lalit Poptani Apr 05 '12 at 05:11
To get the list of files from the Directory use the `file.list()` method – Dharmendra Apr 05 '12 at 05:12
