How to remove '\' symbol from a string in PYTHON

Question

new_filename_name = new_filename_name.remove("\")

How can I use '\' symbol normally in python? no matter how I use this symbol it interprets it as a command like \n.

You can say to interpreter (python) for escaping the symbol by adding this symbol --> \\

so your syntax be like this:

new_filename_name = new_filename_name.remove("\\")

It same as ignoring another symbol:

"\\n" --> for escaping the \n

OP brought it up, but it's worth mentioning the `str.remove` does not exist. The correct way to do this would be `new_file_name.replace('\\', '')` – philosofool Aug 07 '22 at 17:00
sorry, it was wrong I didn't pay attention to the data type. thank you for correcting me – Testing001 Aug 08 '22 at 02:49
