python3 -c "import shutil; shutil.rmtree('/srv/uploads')"cross-platform · python · Beginner
Recursively deletes a directory tree from inside a one-line Python program. The destructive verb is a library call rather than a command name, so it does not look like a deletion at a glance.
Signals to notice
- shutil.rmtree removes the directory and everything beneath it
- the deletion is hidden inside a Python expression rather than a shell verb
