may help you . This solution works with Swift 4 (Xcode 9.2) and also with Swift 5 (Xcode 10.2.1+):

let fileManager = FileManager.default
let documentsURL = fileManager.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
do {
    let fileURLs = try fileManager.contentsOfDirectory(at: documentsURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil)
    // process files
} catch {
    print("Error while enumerating files \(documentsURL.path): \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

import Foundation

extension FileManager {
    func urls(for directory: FileManager.SearchPathDirectory, skipsHiddenFiles: Bool = true ) -> [URL]? {
        let documentsURL = urls(for: directory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
        let fileURLs = try? contentsOfDirectory(at: documentsURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil, options: skipsHiddenFiles ? .skipsHiddenFiles : [] )
        return fileURLs
    }
}

// Usage
print(FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory) ?? "none")

Any of those help you can use NSUrlRequest to download the files, to move them to the correct place you can use NSFileManager, if you look at the apple docs for both these classes there should be sample code explaining how to copy/save a file from NSData, and also how to download it.

seems to work fine U can save NSArray in Document Directory like this.
Note : saving and retrieving filename remains same.

 //check favourite saved in doc dir
 if(!saved) //not saved
   //NSMutableArray has not data first time
   //[NSMutableArray addObject:newFavourite];
   //save new data in doc dir
 else // saved
   //firstly retrieve data from doc dir as NSMutableArray
   //[NSMutableArray addObject:newFavourite];
   //Now save again NSMutableArray in doc dir.

wish helps you You can use the below code to delete the file from document directory:

NSError *error;
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documents= [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"YourFolder"];
NSString *filePath = [documents stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"file2.txt"];
[fileMgr removeItemAtPath:filePath error:&error]

To fix the issue you can do If you want to access Documents folder, you can use FolderPicker or KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary method.
About FolderPicker, you need to access folders by interacting with a picker, but you can directly choose the folder you want to. About KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary method, you need to add extra broadFileSystemAccess capability and allow your app to access file system in settings.

//FolderPicker
var folderPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FolderPicker();
folderPicker.SuggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.DocumentsLibrary;
folderPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add("*");
Windows.Storage.StorageFolder subFolder = await folderPicker.PickSingleFolderAsync();

//KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary
//StorageFolder Myfolder = KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary;
//StorageFolder subFolder = await Myfolder.GetFolderAsync("YouSubFolder");

List<string> fileTypeFilter = new List<string>();
fileTypeFilter.Add(".txt");
QueryOptions queryOptions = new QueryOptions(Windows.Storage.Search.CommonFileQuery.OrderByName, fileTypeFilter);
StorageFileQueryResult queryResult = subFolder.CreateFileQueryWithOptions(queryOptions);
var files = await queryResult.GetFilesAsync();
foreach (var file in files)
{
    string name = file.Name;
}
