The Context class has a suite of functions for creating, opening, and
deleting databases at the standard location of databases for your app.

The SQLiteDatabase class can be used to access a databases at any absolute
path.  In that case, you are using an absolute path, so use File to delete
the database file at that path.

But unless you are putting your database on the SD card, you would be best
off using the Context methods for your database access.
