Android Internal File

I have created a file using FileOutputStream in my app, 

fos = this.openFileOutput("foo.txt", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

Now, I want to check if the file exists, using

 File file = new File("foo.txt");
     if (file.exists()) {
         file.delete();
         Log.d("tag", "im here");
     }

If the file exists I want to delete it. But my code does not seem to reach "im here". Is my approach wrong? How can I correct it? Thanks

You need to specify the directory in which to look for the file. This can be achieved through the getFilesDir() method.

 File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "foo.txt");
 if (file.exists()) {
     file.delete();
     Log.d("tag", "im here");
 }
