GitHub issue #6720: TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
State: closed | Created: 2024-03-07T11:07:09Z

### Describe the bug

I am trying to get the HPLT datasets on the hub. Downloading/re-uploading would be too time- and resource consuming so I wrote [a dataset loader script](https://huggingface.co/datasets/BramVanroy/hplt_mono_v1_2/blob/main/hplt_mono_v1_2.py). I think I am very close but for some reason I always get the error below. It happens during the clean-up phase where the directory cannot be removed because it is not empty.

My only guess would be that this may have to do with zstandard

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
from datasets import load_dataset


ds = load_dataset(
    "BramVanroy/hplt_mono_v1_2",
    "ky",
    trust_remote_code=True
)

```

### Expected behavior

No error.
