I am trying to delete a folder in sdcard. I can delete normal directories, but a directory that starts with period cannot be deleted. (ex. ".helloDir")
if (dir.isDirectory()) {
String[] children = dir.list();
for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
new File(dir, children[i]).delete();
}
}
children is null if dir starts with period (ex. ".helloDir").
