How to avoid “WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied”

Question

There\'s the script to re-create folder:

# Remove folder (if exists) with all files
if os.path.isdir(str(os.path.realpath(\'..\') + \"\\\\my_folder\")):
             


        

Answer 1

For me it worked in this way:

while os.path.isdir (your_path):
    shutil.rmtree (your_path, ignore_errors=True)
os.makedirs (your_path)
