Many thanks... I did it this way as I sometimes delete files with
different extensions:
def remove_file_type(target_dir, file_type):
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(target_dir):
for f in files:
if os.path.splitext(os.path.join(root, f))[1].lower() in
file_type:
remove_file_type(user_docs, ['.tmp', '.mp3'])
