How do delete a PIL Image?

Question

I am trying to replace an Image file using Python PIL.

im = Image.open(logo_dir+cat_string_im)

What function do I call to delete the original file?

im.delete() or im.replace() don't work.

Answer 1

Probably the most straightforward way is to use os.remove() to delete the file. This is basic functionality, so it's not too likely that every module that works with files also includes facilities for file copying, moving, deletion, etc.

Answer 2

You don't need PIL to delete the image. You can do it with

os.remove(path, *, dir_fd=None)
