我以前是这样解决这个问题的:

import shutil
import os

shutil.rmtree(dirpath)
os.mkdir(dirpath)

import os, shutil
folder = '/path/to/folder'
for filename in os.listdir(folder):
    file_path = os.path.join(folder, filename)
    try:
        if os.path.isfile(file_path) or os.path.islink(file_path):
            os.unlink(file_path)
        elif os.path.isdir(file_path):
            shutil.rmtree(file_path)
    except Exception as e:
        print('Failed to delete %s. Reason: %s' % (file_path, e))

回答一个有限的、具体的情况: 假设你想在维护子文件夹树的同时删除文件，你可以使用递归算法:

import os

def recursively_remove_files(f):
    if os.path.isfile(f):
        os.unlink(f)
    elif os.path.isdir(f):
        for fi in os.listdir(f):
            recursively_remove_files(os.path.join(f, fi))

recursively_remove_files(my_directory)

也许有点跑题，但我想很多人会觉得它很有用

使用操作系统。Python 3.6+中的scandir和上下文管理器协议:

import os
import shutil

with os.scandir(target_dir) as entries:
    for entry in entries:
        if entry.is_dir() and not entry.is_symlink():
            shutil.rmtree(entry.path)
        else:
            os.remove(entry.path)

Python的早期版本:

import os
import shutil

# Gather directory contents
contents = [os.path.join(target_dir, i) for i in os.listdir(target_dir)]

# Iterate and remove each item in the appropriate manner
[shutil.rmtree(i) if os.path.isdir(i) and not os.path.islink(i) else os.remove(i) for i in contents]

还有另一个解决方案:

import sh
sh.rm(sh.glob('/path/to/folder/*'))

使用这个函数

import os
import glob

def truncate(path):
    files = glob.glob(path+'/*.*')
    for f in files:
        os.remove(f)

truncate('/my/path')
