Delete empty directory from Jupyter notebook error
Question:
I am trying to delete an empty directory in Jupyter notebook.
When I select the folder and click Delete, an error message pops up saying:
‘A directory must be empty before being deleted.’
There are no files or folders in the directory and it is empty.
Any advice on how to delete it?
Thank you!
Answers:
Usually, Jupyter itself creates a hidden .ipynb_checkpoints folder within the directory when you inspect it. You can check its existence (or any other hidden file/folders) in the directory using ls -a in a terminal that has a current working directory as the corresponding folder.
Go to your local directory where it stores the workbench files, ex:(C:Usersprasadsarada)
You can see all the folders you have created in Jupyter Notebook. delete it there.
I am trying to delete the file from my local directory, but it said that the file cannot be deleted as it is open in another program. I closed Jupyter, anaconda, and everything but I am still facing the issue. Kindly guide me on how to solve this issue.
