Android 4.2.2 not deleting files

I have a peice of code that scans for all files in a directory and it should delete those files. But for some reason it's not deleting them.

What I have is this:

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/Images/"; 
File f = new File(path);
File file[] = f.listFiles();
for (File aFile : file) {
    boolean isDeleted = file.delete();
    if(isDeleted) {
        log.d("file", "is deleted");
    }
}

When I debug this code then it says for every file that isDeleted is true. But when I check the "Gallery/Images" folder on my phone I see that all images are still there...

I also have the following two permission in my manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Anyone any idea why the files aren't deleted, eventhough it says isDeleted is true?
