I am having 100 folders and each folder is having 1000 images. i need to delete 900 images from each folder.
The images deleting can be random and i need 100 images to be left in each folder.
Is there any python script that can help.
i tried the following code
import os
import random
for folder in 'owais_images_dataset/donuts': # Go over each folder path
files = os.listdir('owais_images_dataset/donuts') # Get filenames in current folder
files = random.sample(files, 900) # Pick 900 random files
for file in files: # Go over each file name to be deleted
f = os.path.join("owais_images_dataset/donuts", "") # Create valid path to file
os.remove(f) # Remove the file
and got this error
PermissionError Traceback (most recent call last)
