os.listdir get files out of folders too

So if you do os.listdir f.e.

os.listdir("C:/Users/user/Desktop")

it prints out files but folders too f.e.

output: ["text.txt","folder"]

so how can you print out every file in the "folder" too because they arent printet out

Just use os.walk, it will give you much better way to track the file names and path as it traverse folders with any depth. Example ->

import os
folder_path = "C:/Users/user/Desktop"
for path, subdirs, files in os.walk(folder_path):
    print(path) # it will print current path
    print(subdirs) # it will print list of folder in that directory
    print(files) # It will print list of files in that directory
