+## Python File Automation: Copy, Move, Delete
+
+Automate file system tasks efficiently using Python's `os` and `shutil` modules.
+
+### Setup & Basics
+
+- Import modules: `import os`, `import shutil`
+- Current working directory: `os.getcwd()`
+- Change directory: `os.chdir('path/to/dir')`
+
+### File Operations
+
+- **Copy a file:**
+  ```python
+  shutil.copy('source.txt', 'destination.txt')
+  # Destination can be a new name or existing directory
+  ```
+- **Move/Rename a file:**
+  ```python
+  shutil.move('old_name.txt', 'new_location/new_name.txt')
+  # Renames if new_location is same as old
+  ```
+- **Delete a file:**
+  ```python
+  os.remove('file_to_delete.txt')
+  ```
+
+### Directory Operations
+
+- **Create a directory:**
+  ```python
+  os.mkdir('new_folder')
+  # Creates single directory
+  os.makedirs('path/to/new/nested/folder')
+  # Creates all intermediate directories
+  ```
+- **List directory contents:**
+  ```python
+  os.listdir('.')
+  # Returns list of names
+  ```
+- **Delete an empty directory:**
+  ```python
+  os.rmdir('empty_folder')
+  ```
+- **Delete non-empty directory (CAUTION!):**
+  ```python
+  shutil.rmtree('folder_with_content')
+  # Recursively deletes directory and all contents
+  ```
+
+### Path Management
+
+- Use `os.path.join()` for OS-agnostic path construction.
+- Example: `file_path = os.path.join('data', 'reports', 'report.pdf')`
