Using Python IDLE on my local computer, I can do things like make folders, delete files, delete folders, list directors, etc. on my local computer (my laptop).

My question is: can I do that from the cloud? Meaning, can I use pythonanywhere (or some other service), host some python code on the cloud, access that code via my web browser and have the code "control" my local computer (i.e. delete files, create files, rename files, etc.)?

On a paid account you can connect with any machine that is exposed to the internet (but private computers usually aren't). I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but usually synchronisation between code on a local ("development") environment and a cloud (server, "production") environment is accomplished via version control tools, like git.
