Refresh gallery after renaming/ deleting of images in Xamarin.Android

Question

I am creating an image in DCIM/Camera (default directory), after creating I am deleting the original filename and rename the newly created image to the deleted filename like

OriginalFileName- image04.jpg
NewFileName - image04(1).jpg

Deleting the OriginalFile, now the structure will look like this

OriginalFileName - //Deleted
NewFileName - image04.jpg

The above is working great but when I open gallery I saw a blank image with the name of image04(1).jpg but in the file manager, it doesn't exists.

How do I refresh the gallery after doing the above stuff. Note: The blank image wasn't created when I do processing in Internal Storage, this only happens with external SD card storage (external memory card slot).

I am using Android Marshmallow, I found that in Lolipop doesn't create any blank image.

How to rectify that.

Edit: I used ContentResolver.Delete(sourceURI, null, null); but it throws exception.

sourceURI: {content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/D660-18BD%3A/document/D660-18BD%3AAlbum%201%2F20180423_184057%20(1)%20(1).jpg}

Exception:

@EvZ, I had already seen that link earlier and that was not working, that's why I had posted my question. Both the questions are not identical, in my case I am renaming the file which needs to be refreshed in gallery. — Amit, Apr 23 '18 at 19:49
I got the answer.. // after deleting the original file, call the below code // where fileName is not URI, its fully qualified path `Android.App.Application.Context.ContentResolver.DeleteMediaStore.Images.Media.ExternalContentUri, MediaStore.MediaColumns.Data + "=?", new string[] { fileName });` — Amit, Apr 25 '18 at 21:19
// after renaming file call the below code `MediaScannerConnection.ScanFile(Android.App.Application.Context, new string[] { oldFileName, newFileName }, null, null);` — Amit, Apr 25 '18 at 21:19
