Cordova File > FileEntry > remove()

On upgrading 1.1.16 to 2.2.5, certain files cannot be deleted after being written by cordova-file-transfer. Affected files read successfully.

cordova-plugin-file "File" versions 6.0.1,4.3.3
cordova-plugin-file-transfer "File Transfer" versions 1.7.1, 1.6.3

Platforms: Android,iOS
Filename examples: 12345.abc, 1212121.abc

Problem:
window.requestFileSystem -> FileSystem.root.getFile -> FileEntry.remove

Solution:
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL -> DirectoryEntry.getFile -> FileEntry.remove

Both Problem/Solution implementations provide a FileEntry object, however we can only successfully invoke remove() in the Solution.
