在我的情况下，删除的唯一方法是使用所有的可能性，因为我的代码应该运行cmd.exe或powershell.exe。如果是你的情况，只需要用下面的代码创建一个函数就可以了:

        #!/usr/bin/env python3

        import shutil
        from os import path, system
        import sys

        # Try to delete the folder ---------------------------------------------
        if (path.isdir(folder)):
            shutil.rmtree(folder, ignore_errors=True)

        if (path.isdir(folder)):
            try:
                system("rd -r {0}".format(folder))
            except Exception as e:
                print("WARN: Failed to delete => {0}".format(e),file=sys.stderr)

        if (path.isdir(self.backup_folder_wrk)):
            try:
                system("rd /s /q {0}".format(folder))
            except Exception as e:
                print("WARN: Failed to delete => {0}".format(e),file=sys.stderr)

        if (path.isdir(folder)):
            print("WARN: Failed to delete {0}".format(folder),file=sys.stderr)
        # -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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))

import shutil
shutil.rmtree(dest, 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

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)

对于Windows，如果目录不是空的，并且你有只读文件或者你会得到这样的错误

访问被拒绝 该进程无法访问该文件，因为它正被另一个进程使用

试试这个，os。system('rmdir /S /Q "{}"'.format(directory))

它相当于Linux/Mac中的rm -rf。
