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         


        

Answer 1

Here is a recursive solution:

def clear_folder(dir):
    if os.path.exists(dir):
        for the_file in os.listdir(dir):
            file_path = os.path.join(dir, the_file)
            try:
                if os.path.isfile(file_path):
                    os.unlink(file_path)
                else:
                    clear_folder(file_path)
                    os.rmdir(file_path)
            except Exception as e:
                print(e)
