verify_images not deleting the image

[muellerzr]

When I run verify_images like so:

path_b = Path('birds/blue_bird')
verify_images(path_b.ls())

It will show that there is a bad image at 'birds/blue_bird/00000047.jpg') however it never winds up deleting said image.

Looking at the source code it seems deleting is a part of verify_images. Is this intentional?

Yes, verify_images only verify the images now. Since it returns the ones that don't open, you can then do

failed = verify_images(fnames)
failed.map(Path.unlink)

I didn't get any time to update the course notebook but will do soon.
