I am trying to remove all empty files in a folder, and there are folders within the folder so it needs to check inside those folders too:
e.g remove all empty files within C:\folder1\folder1 and C:\folder1\folder2 etc
import sys
import os
def main():
getemptyfiles(sys.argv[1])
def getemptyfiles(rootdir):
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
for d in ['RECYCLER', 'RECYCLED']:
if d in dirs:
dirs.remove(d)
for f in files:
fullname = os.path.join(root, f)
try:
if os.path.getsize(fullname) == 0:
print fullname
os.remove(fullname)
except WindowsError:
continue
This will work with a bit of adjusting:
The os.remove() statement could fail so you might want to wrap it with try...except as well. WindowsError is platform specific. Filtering the traversed directories is not strictly necessary but helpful.
import os
while(True):
path = input("Enter the path")
if(os.path.isdir(path)):
break
else:
print("Entered path is wrong!")
for root,dirs,files in os.walk(path):
for name in files:
filename = os.path.join(root,name)
if os.stat(filename).st_size == 0:
print(" Removing ",filename)
os.remove(filename)
