Calling rm from subprocess using wildcards does not remove the files

Question

I\'m trying to build a function that will remove all the files that start with \'prepend\' from the root of my project. Here\'s what I have so far

def cleanu         


        

Answer 1

Would you consider this approach using os.remove() to deleting files instead of rm:

import os
os.remove('Path/To/filename.ext')

Update (basically moving my comment from below into my answer):

As os.remove() can't handle wildcards on its own, using the glob module to help will yield a solution as repeated verbatim from this SO answer:

import glob
import os
for fl in glob.glob("E:\\test\\*.txt"):
    #Do what you want with the file
    os.remove(fl)
