I am able to delete a file of a particular extension from the directory /databricks/driver using the bash command in databricks.
%%bash
rm /databricks/driver/file*.xlsx
But I am unable to figure out, how to access and delete a file outside of dbfs in a python script,
I think using dbutils we cannot access files outside of DBFS and the below command outputs False as its looking in DBFS.
dbutils.fs.rm("/databricks/driver/file*.xlsx")
I am eager to be corrected.
Not sure how to do it using dbutils but I am able to delete it using glob
import os
from glob import glob
for file in glob('/databricks/driver/file*.xlsx'):
os.remove(file)
