I want the contents of \'slave\' folder to

Answer 1

The problem might be with the path you specified in the shutil.move function

Try this code

import os
import shutil
for r,d,f in os.walk("slave1"):
    for files in f:
        filepath = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"slave1","slave", files)
        destpath = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"slave1")
        shutil.copy(filepath,destpath)

shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"slave1","slave"))

Paste it into a .py file in the dstfolder. I.e. slave1 and this file should remain side by side. and then run it. worked for me
