Deleting folders in python recursively

Question

I\'m having a problem with deleting empty directories. Here is my code:

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(dir_to_search):
    //other codes

    try

Just for the next guy searching for a micropython solution, this works purely based on os (listdir, remove, rmdir). It is neither complete (especially in errorhandling) nor fancy, it will however work in most circumstances.

def deltree(target):
    print("deltree", target)
    for d in os.listdir(target):
        try:
            deltree(target + '/' + d)
        except OSError:
            os.remove(target + '/' + d)

    os.rmdir(target)
