Cannot delete directory

I’m unable to delete an S3 directory, i.e. a path ending with / using rm nor bulk_delete. There is no error raised but the actual directory does not get deleted.

Code to reproduce:

# Create a folder in an S3 bucket via S3 console
s3fs = S3FileSystem()
s3fs.rm('bucket/folder/')
# Observe the directory remained in S3

I guess this is the result of calling the S3FileSystem.split_path(path) which calls the AbstractFileSystem._strip_protocol(path) which also strips the trailing slash.

Will port https://github.com/dask/gcsfs/issues/273 to fix this

Thanks for the ping, I’ll look into it.
