I accidentally made a directory that had a .py ending and so I want to delete this directory in command prompt. I do not know how can someone give me the command I should use for this? I basically want to delete the actual directory. I am on windows 10 and the directory is empty.

what operating system? rm -rf for mac, rmdir or rd for dos. Is it empty? – Jeremy Kahan Aug 12 '18 at 22:16

rd *.py (or actually fill in the name) should do it. – Jeremy Kahan Aug 12 '18 at 22:21

Because the directory was empty and it was a Windows system rd *.py worked. For more complicated cases more general answer has lots.
