I am using Thunkable X. I test on Android.

- My app use camera to take pic and store the image in a Stored Variable.
- After I save the image, I manually search for the image in the phone Gallery and found it in the “Pictures” folder.  
My question is:

1. How do I delete this image from the phone gallery if my app no longer need this, using Thunkable codes ?
2. Is there a way to set the destination folder for the image before assign it into a Stored Variable ?  
Appreciate any ideas. Thanks !
