How to overwrite a folder if it already exists when creating it with makedirs?
import osimport shutildir = 'path_to_my_folder'if os.path.exists(dir): shutil.rmtree(dir)os.makedirs(dir)
import osimport shutilpath = 'path_to_my_folder'if not os.path.exists(path): os.makedirs(path)else: shutil.rmtree(path) # Removes all the subdirectories! os.makedirs(path)How about that? Take a look at shutil's Python library!
os.path.exists(dir) check is recommended but can be avoided by using ignore_errors
dir = 'path_to_my_folder'shutil.rmtree(dir, ignore_errors=True)os.makedirs(dir)
