How to delete file that is created using Uri?

if(requestCode == 2 && data.getData() !=null){
        if(cd == null){
            path.add(data.getData());
            Random rn = new Random();
            if(copyFileFromUri(this,data.getData(),String.valueOf(rn.nextInt(500)))){
                File fdelete = new File(data.getData().getPath());
                if (fdelete.exists()) {
                    if (fdelete.delete()) {
                        Log.d("delete","deleted");
                    } else {
                        Log.d("delete","not deleted");
                    }
                }
                Toast.makeText(this, "Done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        }else{
            for(int i=0;i<data.getClipData().getItemCount();i++){
                path.add(data.getClipData().getItemAt(i).getUri());
                Log.d("RjList",path.get(i).toString());
                Random rn=new Random();
                if(copyFileFromUri(this,data.getClipData().getItemAt(i).getUri(),String.valueOf(rn.nextInt(500)))){
                    File fdelete = new File(data.getClipData().getItemAt(i).getUri().getPath());
                    if (fdelete.exists()) {
                        if (fdelete.delete()) {
                            Log.d("delete","deleted");
                        } else {
                            Log.d("delete","not deleted");
                        }
                    }
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
        }
    }

public static boolean delete(final Context context, final File file) {
final String pathone = MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=?";
final String[] selectedArgs = new String[] {
        file.getAbsolutePath()
};
final ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
final Uri fileUri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri("external");

contentResolver.delete(fileUri, pathone, selectedArgs );

if (file.exists()) {

    contentResolver.delete(fileUri, pathone, selectedArgs );
}
return !file.exists();
}

File fdelete = new File(data.getData().getPath(),"here you should pass the file name");
            if (fdelete.exists()) {
                if (fdelete.delete()) {
                    Log.d("delete","deleted");
                } else {
                    Log.d("delete","not deleted");
                }
            }

data.getData returns whole path with file name – Rohit Chauhan Jul 23 '18 at 17:50
OfCourse but you will have to pass the file name too as a second parameter. – Sujeet Kumar Jul 24 '18 at 13:26
