Here is how you will do that, 

import boto3

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
bucket=s3.Bucket('mausamrest');
obj = s3.Object('mausamrest','test/hello')
counter=0

for key in bucket.objects.filter(Prefix='test/hello/'):
    counter=counter+1

if(counter!=0):
    obj.delete()
print(counter)

mausamrest is the bucket and test/hello/ is the directory you want to check for items , but take care of one thing that after checking you have to delete test/hello instead of test/hello/ to delete a particular sub folder and hence the keyname in 5th line is test/hello
