module to delete, move or manipulate files and directories.
- To delete a file, you can use os.remove()
or os.unlink()
python
import os
# specify the file name
file_name = "myfile.txt"
# delete the file
os.remove(file_name)
- To delete a directory, you can use os.rmdir()
python
import os
# specify the directory name
dir_name = "mydirectory"
# delete the directory
os.rmdir(dir_name)
- To move a file, you can use os.rename()
python
import os
# specify the current file path and new file path
current_path = "path/to/current/file.txt"
new_path = "path/to/new/file.txt"
# move the file
os.rename(current_path, new_path)
Keep in mind that os.rmdir()
will only remove empty directories. For deleting non-empty directories, you can use shutil.rmtree()
python
import shutil
# specify the directory name
dir_name = "mydirectory"
# delete the directory
shutil.rmtree(dir_name)
But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Messing with file systems can be a dangerous game. One wrong move and you could end up deleting something critical. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll handle it perfectly. Humans never make mistakes after all. Right?Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities.
