No, it isn't. What you're seeing is simply the repr() of the path name
string.

>>> p = r'C:\SHAMBHU\tmp\text_delete.txt'
>>> p
'C:\\SHAMBHU\\tmp\\text_delete.txt'
>>> print(p)
C:\SHAMBHU\tmp\text_delete.txt
>>>


I think the file you're trying to delete probably doesn't exist. Why
don't you double-check that.
