I have a requirement to delete screenshot image file after a certain time using background service in my app and it was working fine using the above method

```
private void deleteTheFile(String path) {
    File fdelete = new File(path);
    if (fdelete.exists()) {
        if (fdelete.delete()) {
            getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.fromFile(new File(path))));
            Log.i(TAG, "deleteTheFile: file deleted");
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG, "deleteTheFile: file not dellleeettteeeddd");
        }
    }

```

But as everyone knows about the changes which came with android R (11)
So I tried to update my app with

> 
> MANAGE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE permission
> 
> 
> 

But Google rejected my update saying

But I have never worked with media store API before and I don't know can it delete an image file with it, because deleting a file comes under writeable section
