Safely Delete a Workspace Directory

with Azure Databricks

Inspect a directory, confirm its type, then recursively delete it.

  1. List the directory contents to capture what will be removed before deleting.
  2. Confirm the path is a DIRECTORY before issuing a recursive delete so a single object is not removed unexpectedly.
  3. Recursively delete the confirmed directory and all of its contents.
