def deleteDir(dirPath):
    deleteFiles = []
    deleteDirs = []
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dirPath):
        for f in files:
            deleteFiles.append(os.path.join(root, f))
        for d in dirs:
            deleteDirs.append(os.path.join(root, d))
    for f in deleteFiles:
        os.remove(f)
    for d in deleteDirs:
        os.rmdir(d)
    os.rmdir(dirPath)

import shutil

shutil.rmtree('/folder_name')

标准库参考:shutil.rmtree。

根据设计，rmtree在包含只读文件的文件夹树上失败。如果您希望删除文件夹而不管它是否包含只读文件，请使用

shutil.rmtree('/folder_name', ignore_errors=True)

基于递归的纯pathlib解决方案:

from pathlib import Path

def remove_path(path: Path):
    if path.is_file() or path.is_symlink():
        path.unlink()
        return
    for p in path.iterdir():
        remove_path(p)
    path.rmdir()

支持Windows和符号链接

在python 3.4中，你可以使用:

import pathlib

def delete_folder(pth) :
    for sub in pth.iterdir() :
        if sub.is_dir() :
            delete_folder(sub)
        else :
            sub.unlink()
    pth.rmdir() # if you just want to delete the dir content but not the dir itself, remove this line

其中PTH是一个pathlib。路径实例。不错，但可能不是最快的。

你可以使用os。简单的系统命令:

import os
os.system("rm -rf dirname")

显然，它实际上调用系统终端来完成这项任务。

来自os.walk()的python文档:

# Delete everything reachable from the directory named in 'top',
# assuming there are no symbolic links.
# CAUTION:  This is dangerous!  For example, if top == '/', it
# could delete all your disk files.
import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(top, topdown=False):
    for name in files:
        os.remove(os.path.join(root, name))
    for name in dirs:
        os.rmdir(os.path.join(root, name))
