If you want to delete a folder that's empty use os.rmdir:

import os
os.rmdir('/mypath')

If you want to delete a folder that's not empty use shutil.rmtree:

import shutil  
shutil.rmtree('/mypath')

you can use os.rmdir() to remove a directory. To remove a directory tree recursively, you can use shutil.rmtree. If you know that you already have empty directory nodes, you can also check out os.removedirs()
