os.remove can be used to remove a file or directory. Here is the minimal boilterplate code without error handling.

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os
os.remove(f"/path/to/file")

Here is a more practical example, with try/except/else error handling

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os

target_file = "/tmp/foo.txt"

if os.path.exists(target_file):
  try:
    os.remove(target_file)
  except Exception as exception:
    print(f"got the following exception: {exception}")
  else:
    if os.path.exists(target_file):
      print(f"{target_file} still exists")
    else:
      print(f"{target_file} was successfully removed")
