<s>[INST] Delete Folder Contents in Python How can I delete the contents of a local folder in Python?
The current project is for Windows but I would like to see *nix also.
 [/INST] Updated to only delete files and to used the os.path.join() method suggested in the comments. If you also want to remove subdirectories, uncomment the elif statement.
import os, shutil
folder = '/path/to/folder'
for the_file in os.listdir(folder):
    file_path = os.path.join(folder, the_file)
    try:
        if os.path.isfile(file_path):
            os.unlink(file_path)
        #elif os.path.isdir(file_path): shutil.rmtree(file_path)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
