Recursive function that finds all subfolders from folder_dir. Super proud of this one.

# This is a recursive function that retrieves all of the sub directories from folder_dir
# This function is called for every sub directory until there is no more sub directories in them
# Then it returns all of the paths
def get_sub_folder_paths(self, folder_dir: str) -> list[str]:
        # Retrieves sub folders in current directory
        sub_folders = self.get_sub_folders(folder_dir)

        # If there are no more sub folders in this dir, return
        if not sub_folders:
            return

        # List of subfolders in sub folders
        sub_sub_folders = []
        for folder in sub_folders:
            # List of paths to sub directories of current directory
            sub_paths = self.get_sub_folder_paths(folder)
            # If its not empty
            if sub_paths:
                # Append the sub folders of sub folder list
                for path in sub_paths:
                    sub_sub_folders.append(path)

        # Extends the current sub folder list
        sub_folders.extend(sub_sub_folders)

        # Returns it, then function down the stack does the same until end is reached
        return sub_folders
