I concur with Serhiy. If the example is changed to just print out the file and
directory path, as the PR proposes to do, it seems to defeat the purpose of
using `topdown=False` (and the code example) in the first place.
If anything, I would suggest adding succinct comments or a note that very
briefly explains how one could see a visual demonstration of what it does
without removing any files or directories. For example:
``print(f"os.remove({os.path.join(root, name)})")``.
