DocumentFile df = DocumentFile.fromSingleUri(context, uri);
if (df != null && df.exists()) {
if (df.delete()) {
//succeeded
} else {
//failed
}
}
df.delete()
of the above code keeps failing.
uri: content://media/external/video/media/80
df.getName(): foo_2023_09_14_223303_backup.mp4
I checked the file and made sure it does exist:

I suspect that I am missing something fundamental. Could anyone shed some light on this?
