That is unlikely to work, as there are likely files open on external storage. Users who wish to wipe their external storage can do so through the Settings app (or, in the case of removable external storage, they can eject the card and wipe/destroy it by any number of means). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Oslo: http://bit.ly/fjBo24 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
