pyqt5 - how to delete an entire directory with Pyside2?

Question

I have a QFileSystemModel and can delete empty directory with QFileSystemModel.rmdir(index).

Is there a way to delete non-empty directory with Pyside2?

I can shutil.rmtree() delete non-empty directory, but since I use Qt, I tend to use the Qt method. if it existed.

Answer 1

my solution is outside of QFileSystemModel. use QDir.removeRecursively()

def del_folder(self, checked, index):
    if not index.isValid():
        return

    model = index.model()
    path = model.fileInfo(index).absoluteFilePath()
    dir1 = QtCore.QDir(path)
    dir1.removeRecursively() # remove all.
