Delete folder if exists using Synapse notebook (Pyspark)

Question

Hi, I have an external delta table that I have to recreate every time when my Synapse PySpark notebook is executed. Since this is an external table, I need to clean up the folder also before dropping the table. I am able to delete the folder using the below code but this fails if the folder is not present.

mssparkutils.fs.rm(<folder>, True)

I am looking for a code snippet which would look for the existence of this folder and deletes it recursively if present. Could you please help? Thanks, Alok

Update : Got this one working with the below script

if mssparkutils.fs.exists(folder_path):
    mssparkutils.fs.rm(folder_path, True)
