Sure, here is how you can delete hidden folders with Python:
Python
This code first gets the current working directory using the
os.getcwd()function. Then, it gets a list of all the files and folders in the current directory using theos.listdir()function.Next, the code iterates over the files and folders in the list. For each file or folder, the code checks if it is hidden by checking if it starts with a
.. If the file or folder is hidden, the code deletes it using theos.removedirs()function.The
os.removedirs()function deletes a directory and all of its subdirectories. So, if you callos.removedirs()on a hidden folder, it will delete the folder and all of its contents, including any hidden files and folders.
