您可以尝试下面的代码删除文件或文件夹，而不管它们是空的还是非空的。

import shutil
import os

directory = "path/to/the/root/folder"
files_in_directory = os.listdir(directory)

for file in files_in_directory:
    try:
        path_to_file_or_folder = os.path.join(directory, file)
        shutil.rmtree(path_to_file_or_folder)
    except:
        os.unlink(path_to_file_or_folder)

import shutil
shutil.rmtree(dest, ignore_errors=True)

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。

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))

从docs.python.org:

这个例子展示了如何在Windows中删除目录树 有些文件设置了只读位。它使用onerror 回调以清除只读位并重新尝试删除。任何 随后的失败将会传播。 导入os, stat 进口shutil Def remove_readonly(func, path， _) "清除只读位并重新尝试删除" 操作系统。chmod(路径,stat.S_IWRITE) func(路径) shutil。rmtree(目录,onerror = remove_readonly)

如果你不想使用shutil模块，你可以使用os模块。

from os import listdir, rmdir, remove
for i in listdir(directoryToRemove):
    os.remove(os.path.join(directoryToRemove, i))
rmdir(directoryToRemove) # Now the directory is empty of files
