File mFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/folder");
try {
    deleteFolder(mFile);
} catch (IOException e) {
    Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Unable to delete folder", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

public void deleteFolder(File folder) throws IOException {
    if (folder.isDirectory()) {
       for (File ct : folder.listFiles()){
            deleteFolder(ct);
       }
    }
    if (!folder.delete()) {
       throw new FileNotFoundException("Unable to delete: " + folder);
    }
}
