Delete a File

To delete a file, you must import the OS module, and run its os.remove() function:

Remove the file "demofile.txt":

import osos.remove("demofile.txt")

To avoid getting an error, you might want to check if the file exists before you try to delete it:

Check if file exists, then delete it:

import osif os.path.exists("demofile.txt"): os.remove("demofile.txt") else: print("The file does not exist")

To delete an entire folder, use the os.rmdir() method:

Remove the folder "myfolder":

import osos.rmdir("myfolder")

Note: You can only remove empty folders.
