I have read the documentation for this function, however, I dont think I understand it properly. If anyone can tell me what I'm missing, or if I am correct, it would be a great help. Here is my understanding:
using the shutil.rmtree(path) function, it will delete only the directory specified, not the entire path. IE:
shutil.rmtree('user/tester/noob')
using this, it would only delete the 'noob' directory correct? not the complete path?
shutil.rmtree('/usr/tester/noob') function will delete noob and all files and subdirectories below it (but not above). That is, noob is the root of the tree to be removed.
