Python loop problems

I have a script that counts the number of files in a folder, and if it's less than a max number, it creates new files until there is the correct number. Ideally, as old files are deleted, the new ones should be generated. The problem is, my code sometimes wont create a new file if only one file is deleted at a time. Sometimes it will, sometimes it wont. It will always create new files if more than one is deleted at a time.

import os

cfcount = 0
maxcalls = 7
run = 1
filecount = 0

def callFile(channel, maxretries, retrytime, waittime, context, ext):
    #create sting
    return callfile

def getCount():
    """Gets the number of callfiles in the directory"""
    count = 0
    files = os.listdir("c:\\proc")
    for file in files:
            if os.path.isfile("c:\\proc\\" + file):
                count += 1
                #print (count)
    return count

run = 1
while run == 1:
    """main loop that runs until there's no more people left to call"""
        filecount = getCount()    
        print (filecount)
        lacking_filecount = maxcalls - filecount
    while lacking_filecount > 0:
        cfcount += 1
        f = open("c:\proc\callfile" + str(cfcount) + ".call", 'w')
        f.write(callFile("SIP/200", '0', '0', '45', "call-file-test", '200'))
        f.close()
        print ("Filecount: " + str(filecount))
        print ("Callfile number: " + str(cfcount))
        lacking_filecount -= 1

I've been able to get it to work every time without fail IF I keep the print(filecount) statement. If I remove that statement, it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.

This is the output

>>> 
0
Filecount: 0
Callfile number: 1
Filecount: 0
Callfile number: 2
Filecount: 0
Callfile number: 3
Filecount: 0
Callfile number: 4
Filecount: 0
Callfile number: 5
Filecount: 0
Callfile number: 6
Filecount: 0
Callfile number: 7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7
7

without the print(filecount) it looks like this. It worked until about number 9 then it quit replacing new files if only one was deleted. Notice it still prints a callfile number.

>>> 
Callfile number: 1
Callfile number: 2
Callfile number: 3
Callfile number: 4
Callfile number: 5
Callfile number: 6
Callfile number: 7
Callfile number: 8
Callfile number: 9
Callfile number: 10
Callfile number: 11
Callfile number: 12

This is output from print(file) inside the getCount() loop. It hasn't not worked yet with that print statement added.

Callfile number: 17
callfile1.call
callfile17.call
callfile2.call
callfile3.call
callfile4.call
callfile5.call
callfile6.call
callfile1.call
callfile17.call
