Python Delete Files

Python Delete Files


Deleting files in Python is typically done using the `os` module. 


Here's an example demonstrating how to delete a file:


Deleting a File:

```python

import os


file_path = "file_to_delete.txt"


# Check if the file exists before attempting to delete

if os.path.exists(file_path):

    os.remove(file_path)

    print(f"The file '{file_path}' has been deleted.")

else:

    print(f"The file '{file_path}' does not exist.")

```


This example uses the `os.path.exists()` function to check if the file exists before attempting to delete it. If the file exists, the `os.remove()` function is used to delete it. The `os.remove()` function raises an `OSError` if the file does not exist or cannot be removed for some reason.


Make sure to handle file deletion carefully and include appropriate error-checking to avoid unintended data loss.
