Python implements methods for deleting files and directories

os.remove (path) to delete the file path. If path is a directory, throw a oserror error. If you want to delete a directory, use rmdir (). Os.rmdir () can only delete empty directories

Remove () is the same as unlink () in a Windows system, deleting a file that is in use will throw an exception. In Unix, the records in the catalog table are deleted, but the storage of the files is still there.

os.removedirs (path) to delete the directory recursively. Similar to RmDir (), if a subdirectory is successfully deleted, Removedirs () will delete the parent directory, but the subdirectory is not successfully deleted and an error will be thrown.

For example, Os.removedirs ("Foo/bar/baz") will first delete the "Foo/bar/ba" directory, and then delete Foo/bar and foo, if they are empty, such as the fruit directory cannot be deleted successfully, will throw OSError exception

os.rmdir (path) removes directory path, requires path to be an empty directory, otherwise throws OSError error recursively deletes directories and files (like DOS command DeleteTree):

Method One:

Import OS  for  in Os.walk (top, topdown=False):    for in  files:        os.remove ( Os.path.join (root, name))    for in  dirs:        Os.rmdir (Os.path.join (root, name) )

Method Two:

Import Shutilshutil.rmtree ()

Method Three:

__import__ ('shutil'). Rmtree ()
