Here’s a breakdown of how to delete multiple images from external storage on an Android device:

Ensure Permissions: First, make sure your application has the necessary permissions to read from and write to external storage. This requires both manifest permissions and runtime permissions.

List Files: Navigate to the directory where your images are stored. Check if the directory exists and contains files. Then, filter the files to identify the images you want to delete.

Delete Files: Iterate through the filtered list of image files and attempt to delete each one. Verify whether each file was successfully deleted or not, and handle any potential errors accordingly.

Confirm Deletion: Log or inform the user of the results, specifying which images were successfully deleted and which weren't.

This process ensures that you safely delete multiple image files from external storage while adhering to Android's security and permission requirements.
