Given the following directory structure on a Windows machine:
- foo
- bar
a call to `shutil.rmtree("foo")` will fail when the inner folder `bar` is opened in an Explorer. The error message indicates the `foo` directory is not empty, while after the execution, although it failed, the `foo` directory is empty. So the inner folder `bar` was removed successfully, but `foo` was not. And the error message is misleading.
It will not fail when `foo` is opened in an Explorer, neither on Linux system. |
