File removing in Android, not removing the Image completely. White thumbnail is reatained

Ionic Native
1

Hi, I’m trying to remove the Image after processing it. According my requirement, the image should not be stored in the phone’s memory.
A similar version of Ionic code I’m using:

var path = "file:///storage/emulated/0";
var filename = "myfile.img";

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(path, function(dir) {
	dir.getFile(filename, {create:false}, function(fileEntry) {
              fileEntry.remove(function(){
                  // The file has been removed successfully
              },function(error){
                  // Error deleting the file
              },function(){
                 // The file doesn't exist
              });
	});
});

Image gets removed successfully, but when gallery is opened, I see blank white thumbnails, which are not viewable. I need to get rid of them. It works fine with video, no residual file is maintained.
Can anyone please help me ?
