Delete files inside Folder and subfolders

[zinho]

Hi.

I want delete only files inside MainFolder and subfolder, but not delete folders.


I try sominth like below

import glob

files = glob.glob('C:/Users/zinho/Downloads/MainFolder/*')
for f in files:
   os.remove(f)

You can use shutil, see: https://docs.python.org/2/library/shutil.html

import os

for root, dirs, files in os.walk():
    for file in files:
        # delete the file

[zinho]

Show error "TypeError: walk() missing 1 required positional arqument: 'top' "

import os
import glob
files = glob.glob('C:/Users/zinho/Downloads/MainFolder/*')
for root, dirs, files in os.walk():
	for file in files:
		os.remove(file)

I find a solution

import os

os.chdir("C:\\Users\\zinho\\Downloads\\MainFolder")
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(".", topdown = False):
   for file in files:
      print(os.path.join(root, file))
      os.remove(os.path.join(root, file))

It's solved, thank you!!

os.walk() takes as argument the path to a directory.
