Delete files with python through OS shell

A slightly verbose writing of another method

import os
dir = "E:\\test"
files = os.listdir(dir)
for file in files:
    if file.endswith(".txt"):
        os.remove(os.path.join(dir,file))

import os
[os.remove(os.path.join("E:\\test",f)) for f in os.listdir("E:\\test") if f.endswith(".txt")]

The way you would do this is use the glob module:

import glob
import os
for fl in glob.glob("E:\\test\\*.txt"):
    #Do what you want with the file
    os.remove(fl)
