Answer 1

If you're using linux you could do the following. Use python's glob library

Lets you have a directory structure with the following structure.

• /map

  • /map/zoom1/

  • /map/zoom2/

  • /map/zoom3/

Using glob and shutil

import glob
import shutil

sub_folders_pathname = '/map/zoom*/'
sub_folders_list = glob.glob(sub_folder_pathname)
for sub_folder in sub_folders_list:
    shutil.rmtree(sub_folder)

sub_folders_pathname is a shell-style wildcard, glob supports shell-style wildcards.

sub_folders_list are a list of folders and then we use shutil.rmtree to remove it.
