Cannot delete folder using Java

Question

I am trying to delete a folder which has only files but no sub folders without success.

Code:

File rowFolder = new File(folderPath);
String[] files = r

As you aren't checking the return value of delete(), the output you produce is meaningless. The deletion could have failed for any number of reasons:

• the file is a non-empty directory
• the file is open by another user (on some platforms)
• you don't have permission to delete that file.
