How can we delete files inside certain directory flutter?

I want to delete files from any folders of android device using flutter programatically. Is there any way to delete files created as in the code. I downloaded files using dio. and want to delete the files downloaded like this. var dir = await getExternalStorageDirectory(); await dio.download(fileURL, "${dir.path}/books/$fileName.pdf",

If you want to delete the file after a button pressed, this is what I suggest:

onPressed: () async {
  Directory dir = await getExternalStorageDirectory();
  final targetFile = Directory("${dir.path}/books/$fileName.pdf");
  if(targetFile.existsSync()) {
    targetFile.deleteSync(recursive: true);
  }
}
