Hello community!

I'm trying to delete multiple files based on their extension using the "remove_file" function, and I was wondering if it's possible to use a wildcard character like this:

Code: Select all

remove_file(r'C:\Users\Public\Desktop\*.lnk') 
Thank you in advance for your reply ;)

not directly...

Code: Select all

import glob

def install():
    for filename in glob.glob(r'C:\Users\Public\Desktop\*.lnk'):
        delete_file(filename)

However, unless I'm mistaken, it's a remove_file and not a delete_file
THANKS
