[android-developers] Re: Deleting cached SD card files on uninstall
As a clarification, I am placing the files in the SD card folder as obtained via a call to getExternalStorageDirectory(), e.g: /sdcard/Android/data/com.gabysoft.myapp On Feb 17, 8:40 am, John Gaby jg...@gabysoft.com wrote: I am downloading and caching some files to the SD card. I am placing the files at: /Android/data/com.gabysoft.myapp When the app is uninstalled, on some phones (e.g. the emulator and Motorola Droid), these files are automatically delete (which is what I want). On other phones (e.g. HTC Hero and HTC Legend), they are not. Where can I put these files so that they will be deleted on uninstall for all devices?

So there is no way to clean up my files on pre 2.2 systems? On Feb 17, 8:52 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: You can't. Deleting files on uninstall via getExternalFilesDir() was added in API Level 8 (a.k.a., Android 2.2).
