[WinError 145] The directory is not empty: 'FolderPath' - Python

This python program is to delete the directory.

CODE:

import os

folder_path = 'images' 

if os.path.exists(folder_path):
    try:
        os.rmdir(folder_path)
        print(f"Folder '{folder_path}' and its contents have been deleted.")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred while deleting the folder: {e}")
else:
    print(f"Folder '{folder_path}' does not exist.")

I got this following error while deleting the folder in python. [WinError 145] The directory is not empty: 'images'

SOLUTION:

If you want to delete a non-empty directory, we need to use shutil.rmtree()

CODE:

import os
import shutil

folder_path = 'images' 

if os.path.exists(folder_path):
    try:
        shutil.rmtree(folder_path)
        print(f"Folder '{folder_path}' and its contents have been deleted.")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred while deleting the folder: {e}")
else:
    print(f"Folder '{folder_path}' does not exist.")
