I am trying to use the IBM Watson Studio Jupyter Notebook to open a csv file but I just can't do it

So typing the normal pandas command will give me the FileNotFoundError

This command

import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv(r'C:\Users\Gaming\Downloads\clean_gdp.csv')

When I ask for to currently working directory with os.getcwd() it returns this

/home/dsxuser/work

But when I ask to change the currently working directory using os.chdir() it just gives me the FileNotFoundError using this:

os.chdir(r'C:\\Users\\Gaming\\Downloads')

Also I did not forget to import pandas as pd first – Vanessa Rezende Jul 15 '19 at 02:33
Since you are using absolute path, there is no need to check current working directory. Can you please verify if clean_gdp.csv is really existed by opening "C:\Users\Gaming\Downloads" and check if you can see the file there? – Cao Minh Vu Jul 15 '19 at 02:38

Is your notebook on the cloud or local? – Simon O'Doherty Jul 15 '19 at 02:54
why is your os.chdir having raw string r as well as double slashes ? – asimo Jul 15 '19 at 02:59
