IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Copy of New Text Document.txt'i recive this error when running my code
what does the code do?? - it works though a directory and makes a list of all text files and sorts them by the modifed date once its sorted it then takes the 6 latest files and puts them in a temp folder and deletes the rest and then places thoses 6 files back in the root folder
# sorts files by modifed date, collects the 6 most recent files, and delete all others.

#\/ puts files in root folder in to list
for folder in glob.glob(root):
print ("folder =", folder)
for file in glob.glob(folder + '\*.txt*'):

date_file_list.sort()
#print (date_file_list)
date_file_list.reverse()

#\/works tho files and finds the 6 latest files
for lastmod_seconds, path in date_file_list:
folder, file_name = os.path.split(path)
lastmod_tuple = time.localtime(lastmod_seconds)
file_date = time.strftime("%d/%m/%y", lastmod_tuple)
if file_date != date:

else:
continue

#\/ removes all other files
for f in glob.glob ('.' +'\*.txt*'):

#print ('test 2')
#\/ moves the 6 files back to the root folder
for file in glob.glob(dst_file + '\*.txt*'):

os.rmdir("file_back_ups")any help would be great to why i am reciving this error and what to do about it?
