Remove all files in a directory

Question

Trying to remove all of the files in a certain directory gives me the follwing error:

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: \'/home/me/test/*\

Answer 1

This will get all files in a directory and remove them.

import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
dir = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "foldername")

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dir):
  for file in files:
    path = os.path.join(dir, file)
    os.remove(path)
