GH-127381: pathlib ABCs: remove `PathBase.unlink()` and `rmdir()` by barneygale · Pull Request #127736 · python/cpython
Virtual filesystems don't always make a distinction between deleting files and empty directories, and sometimes support deleting non-empty directories in a single operation. Here we remove `PathBase.unlink()` and `rmdir()`, leaving `_delete()` as the sole deletion method, now made abstract. I hope to drop the underscore prefix later on.
