Path.rmdir()

Path.rmdir() is a Python method in the Pathlib Module category. Removes an empty directory. Raises OSError if not empty. The syntax is Path.rmdir(). Returns: None. A typical example: Path("empty_dir").rmdir(). A close sibling is pathlib.Path(), which creates a Path object for filesystem path operations. A close sibling is Path.exists(), which returns True if the path points to an existing file or directory. A close sibling is Path.is_file(), which returns True if the path points to a regular file. A close sibling is Path.is_dir(), which returns True if the path points to a directory. More about this category: Object-oriented filesystem paths — Path operations, glob, file I/O.
