The os.rmdir() Method

The os.rmdir() method removes (deletes) the directory with the given path.

import os

path = os.getcwd()
directory = os.path.join(path, "__python_demo__")
if os.path.isdir(directory):
    raise Exception("Path already exists. Can't continue.")
os.mkdir(directory)
print("Created directory:", directory)
os.chdir(directory)
print("Changed to:", os.getcwd())
os.chdir(path)
print("Changed back to:", os.getcwd())
os.rmdir(directory)
print("Removed directory:", directory)
