How to get actual file path with file_picker package in flutter

Question

I wanted to delete a file from device storage after receiving the file path from file_picker. but the problem is file_picker returns a path of a temporary copy of the file from the application's directory. Is there a way to get the actual path of the file file_picker picks?

Answer 1

For image_picker

var pickedImage = await _picker.getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery, imageQuality: 25);
File image = File(pickedImage.path);

for file_picker

FilePickerResult res = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();
File image = File(res.files.first.path);
