Description
Documentation
The python docs for the shutil
module include an example of how to use rmtree
on a windows folder that contains read-only files:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/shutil.html#rmtree-example
However, there is no mention of this solution, or even that this is a potential issue on windows, within the documentation for the shutil.rmtree
function itself:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/shutil.html#shutil.rmtree
As a result, it is likely that many developers miss this as a potential issue or solution. A simple link to the example, within the shutil.rmtree
itself, would increase awareness.
