            imgBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fileOutputStream);
            fileOutputStream.close();
            return mediaFile;
        } catch (Throwable throwable) {
            throwable.printStackTrace();
        }
        return mediaFile;
    }

did you check if the image is actually available in desired location file path? — Abdul Waheed, May 02 '18 at 07:03
before calling delete method on file reference please check existance of the file with file reefrence like file.exists()... — Abdul Waheed, May 02 '18 at 07:07
not nullability is something else...check for existance as well of that file — Abdul Waheed, May 02 '18 at 07:09

Above link some one said that files not deleting is that is true? — AbhiRam, May 02 '18 at 07:12
`imageFolder.mkdirs();`. Check the return value as it migth fail. If it returns false display a toast saying so and return. Do not continue as it does not make sensectrying to create a file in a non existent directory. — greenapps, May 02 '18 at 07:50
Are you getting result? if not, please tell that same file do you want to delete/replace then give some name instead of Curr_Time(). — AndyBoy, May 02 '18 at 09:53

try this :

File file = saveImage(this, data);
file.delete();
if(file.exists()){
      file.getCanonicalFile().delete();
      if(file.exists()){
           getApplicationContext().deleteFile(file.getName());
      }
}
