I try to delete 300 pdf files. All the pdf files as different names, and they all spread in one big folder that divided to a lot of sub folders and sub sub folders. How can I do it with python (I work with python 2.7.8)?

Using shutil.rmtree, you can delete directories recursively.

If the directory contians other files that is not pdf file, use following instead (which use os.walk to traverse the directories recursively, and os.remove/os.unlink to remove the pdf file).

If all you want is delete just the pdf file you can use the os.walk function and fnmatch.fnmatch function.

os.chdir to change directory. just do some tweak to locate to other directory
