NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"MyNewFolder/myDB.db"];

I dint really understood your problem . Hope this helps :
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *path = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"Saving");
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] init];
NSString *path1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/var/mobile/Containers"];
NSString *dataPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:path1];
dataPath = [dataPath stringByStandardizingPath];
filePath = [dataPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"MyNewFolder/myDB.db"];

Here's the iOS 8 approach Apple recommends to retrieve the location of the Documents directory:
// Returns the URL to the application's Documents directory.
- (NSURL *)applicationDocumentsDirectory
{
return [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];
}

Create Folder
//-- to select path from image--//
AppDelegate *del = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
NSString *dataPath=[del.databasePath copy];
NSString *Documentpath=[del.path_Folder_Document copy];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Fetch path for document directory
dataPath = (NSMutableString *)[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/Images"];
Pathforimage=dataPath;
Add Folder if not Exist
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:Pathforimage withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:nil])
{
//NSLog(#"directory... /Images already exist..");
}
else
{
//NSLog(#"directory created!");
}
NSString *pathforAudios=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/Images_Audio",Documentpath];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:pathforAudios withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:nil])
{
//NSLog(#"directory... /Images already exist..");
}
else
{
//NSLog(#"directory created!");
}
//-- end of path --//
Save Image to Folder
//Save Image to Documents Directory
NSString *imagePath = [Pathforimage stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.jpg",Img_File_Name]];
[UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.1) writeToFile:imagePath atomically:YES];
imagePath=nil;
image=nil;
Delete Files/Folder
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray *files = [fileMgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:nil];
NSLog(#"files =%#",files);
NSString *Images_Folder = (NSMutableString *)[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/Images"];
NSArray *fileArray = [fileMgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:Images_Folder error:nil];
for (NSString *filename in fileArray)
{
NSLog(#"Images =%#",filename);
[fileMgr removeItemAtPath:[Images_Folder stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename] error:NULL];
}
NSString *Images_Audio_Folder = (NSMutableString *)[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/Images_Audio"];
NSArray *fileArray1 = [fileMgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:Images_Audio_Folder error:nil];
for (NSString *filename in fileArray1)
{
NSLog(#"Images_Audio =%#",filename);
[fileMgr removeItemAtPath:[Images_Audio_Folder stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename] error:NULL];
}

Create floder
NSError *error;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSString *dataPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/MyNewFolder"];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dataPath]){
[fileManager createDirectoryAtPath:dataPath withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:&error]; //Create folder
}else{
NSLog(#"exist");
}
NSLog(#"dataPath:%#",dataPath);
