It sounds like me that "del dir_list" does only delete the copied list while "del dir_list[:]" accesses the reference and deletes this list. If I'm not wrong with this assumption I think you was meaning dir_list instead of root_dir in your post.

But thanks for the help as I have not expected this on reading just the documentation of os.walk().
