@RanjanDas I try your code but it deletes only content of zip files but not delete zip files. — Krupali Shingala, Aug 08 '18 at 05:36
Zip_Folder_Path :: /storage/emulated/0/PhotoResizer/PhotoResizer_1533707372194.zip I use above path for deleting zip folder, but only content of zip folder is deleted not zip file. — Krupali Shingala, Aug 08 '18 at 05:50

after using delete() method in your File. filePath is a String containing the path to your zip file.

File file = new File(filePath);

//must check if deleted is true. It is true if the file was successfully deleted

boolean deleted = file.delete();

 Use below method

     /**
     * Clear/Delete all the contents in file/Directory
     *
     * @param file file/folder
     * @return true on successfull deletion of all content
     * <b>Make sure file it is not null</b>
     */
    public boolean clearDirectory(@NonNull File file) {
        boolean success = false;
        if (file.isDirectory())
            for (File child : file.listFiles())
                clearDirectory(child);
        success = file.delete();
        return success;
    }

Give this a try!

public static final String ZIP_FILES_DIR = "Download/FolderNAME";    

File directoryPath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+ File.separator + ZIP_FILES_DIR);
    if (directoryPath.delete()) {
        //do whatever you want
      }

File file = new File(deleteFilePath); boolean deleted = = file.deleted();

deleteFilePath is a String containing the path to your zip file.

if deleted is true. It is true if the file was successfully deleted.
