只需一些python 3.5选项就可以完成上面的回答。(我很想在这里找到它们)。

import os
import shutil
from send2trash import send2trash # (shutil delete permanently)

删除空文件夹

root = r"C:\Users\Me\Desktop\test"   
for dir, subdirs, files in os.walk(root):   
    if subdirs == [] and files == []:
           send2trash(dir)
           print(dir, ": folder removed")

删除包含此文件的also文件夹

    elif subdirs == [] and len(files) == 1: # if contains no sub folder and only 1 file 
        if files[0]== "desktop.ini" or:  
            send2trash(dir)
            print(dir, ": folder removed")
        else:
            print(dir)

删除只包含.srt或.txt文件的文件夹

    elif subdirs == []: #if dir doesn’t contains subdirectory
        ext = (".srt", ".txt")
        contains_other_ext=0
        for file in files:
            if not file.endswith(ext):  
                contains_other_ext=True
        if contains_other_ext== 0:
                send2trash(dir)
                print(dir, ": dir deleted")

删除小于400kb的文件夹:

def get_tree_size(path):
    """Return total size of files in given path and subdirs."""
    total = 0
    for entry in os.scandir(path):
        if entry.is_dir(follow_symlinks=False):
            total += get_tree_size(entry.path)
        else:
            total += entry.stat(follow_symlinks=False).st_size
    return total


for dir, subdirs, files in os.walk(root):   
    If get_tree_size(dir) < 400000:  # ≈ 400kb
        send2trash(dir)
    print(dir, "dir deleted")

如果你确定你想要删除整个目录树，并且不再对目录的内容感兴趣，那么爬行整个目录树是愚蠢的…只需从python中调用本机操作系统命令即可。它将更快，更有效，更少的内存消耗。

RMDIR c:\blah /s /q 

例如*那晚尼克斯。

rm -rf /home/whatever 

在python中，代码看起来像..

import sys
import os

mswindows = (sys.platform == "win32")

def getstatusoutput(cmd):
    """Return (status, output) of executing cmd in a shell."""
    if not mswindows:
        return commands.getstatusoutput(cmd)
    pipe = os.popen(cmd + ' 2>&1', 'r')
    text = pipe.read()
    sts = pipe.close()
    if sts is None: sts = 0
    if text[-1:] == '\n': text = text[:-1]
    return sts, text


def deleteDir(path):
    """deletes the path entirely"""
    if mswindows: 
        cmd = "RMDIR "+ path +" /s /q"
    else:
        cmd = "rm -rf "+path
    result = getstatusoutput(cmd)
    if(result[0]!=0):
        raise RuntimeError(result[1])

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))

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)

我发现了一个非常简单的方法来删除任何文件夹(甚至不是空的)或文件在WINDOWS操作系统。

os.system('powershell.exe  rmdir -r D:\workspace\Branches\*%s* -Force' %CANDIDATE_BRANCH)

十年后，在使用Python 3.7和Linux时，仍然有不同的方法来做到这一点:

import subprocess
from pathlib import Path

#using pathlib.Path
path = Path('/path/to/your/dir')
subprocess.run(["rm", "-rf", str(path)])

#using strings
path = "/path/to/your/dir"
subprocess.run(["rm", "-rf", path])

本质上，它使用Python的子进程模块来运行bash脚本$ rm -rf '/path/to/your/dir，就像使用终端来完成相同的任务一样。它不是完全的Python，但它完成了。

我加入pathlib的原因。路径示例是因为根据我的经验，它在处理许多路径变化时非常有用。导入pathlib的额外步骤。路径模块和将最终结果转换为字符串通常是一个较低的成本，我的开发时间。如果Path.rmdir()带有一个arg选项来显式地处理非空dirs，那就很方便了。
