# Python3.x Python3 os.removedirs() Method [ Python3 OS File/Directory Methods](#) * * * ### Overview The os.removedirs() method is used to recursively delete directories. Like rmdir(), if a subfolder is successfully deleted, removedirs() will attempt to delete its parent folder, until an error is raised (which is generally ignored, as it typically means the folder is not empty). ### Syntax The syntax for the **removedirs()** method is as follows: os.removedirs(path) ### Parameters * **path** -- The path of the directory to be removed. ### Return Value This method does not return a value. ### Example The following example demonstrates the use of the removedirs() method: #!/usr/bin/python3import os, sys # List directoriesprint ("The directory is: %s" %os.listdir(os.getcwd()))# Remove os.removedirs("/test")# List directories after removalprint ("The directory after removal is:" %os.listdir(os.getcwd())) The output of executing the above program is: The directory is:[ 'a1.txt','resume.doc','a3.py','test' ]The directory after removal is:[ 'a1.txt','resume.doc','a3.py' ] [ Python3 OS File/Directory Methods](#)
