Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be removing or deleting a directory inside python using pathlib library. All the full source code of the application is given below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

from pathlib import Path

def rmdir(directory):
    directory = Path(directory)
    for item in directory.iterdir():
        if item.is_dir():
            rmdir(item)
        else:
            item.unlink()
    directory.rmdir()

rmdir(Path("uploads"))

So here uploads is the actual path of the directory it is present inside the root directory as shown below

Now if you run this python script by typing the below command as shown below

python app.py

So it will remove that uploads directory
