How to remove a directory including all its files in python?

If you want to delete the file

import os
os.remove("path_to_file")

but you can`t delete directory by using above code if you want to remove directory then use this

import os
os.rmdir("path_to_dir")

from above command, you can delete a directory if it’s empty if it’s not empty then you can use shutil module

import shutil
shutil.rmtree("path_to_dir")

All above method are Python way and if you know about your operating system that this method depends on OS all above method is not dependent

import os
os.system("rm -rf _path_to_dir")
