Now create a second function named delete_by_user that works similarly but deletes files that have a particular username in their filename.
import os
def delete_by_date(date):
for f in os.listdir(os.getcwd() + '/backups'):
if date in f:
os.remove('backups/' + f)

17,793 PointsIt want's another function called delete_by_user() that is the same except instead of date it uses the username, so you could just copy/past what you have and rename the function, and change date to username (but don't even have to do that)
