[mono-android] Deleting files on external storage?

[Carlo Bolz]

What happens with file handles on android in general?

Files and directories can be created here: Android.OS.Environment.ExternalStorageDirectory.
Maybe it belongs only tot he external storage.

If I write to System.IO.Path.Combine(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal) it is possible to delete the created file.

Regards
Carlo

What does the output of context.GetExternalFilesDir point at, and can
you guys create AND delete files created there?
