Removes a file or directory. The directory can have contents. If the path does not exist, silently does nothing.
path
<String>
callback
<Function>
err
<Error>
const fs = require('fs-extra')
// remove file
// With a callback:
fs.remove('/tmp/myfile', err => {
if (err) return console.error(err)
console.log('success!')
})
fs.remove('/home/jprichardson', err => {
if (err) return console.error(err)
console.log('success!') // I just deleted my entire HOME directory.
})
// With Promises:
fs.remove('/tmp/myfile')
.then(() => {
console.log('success!')
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err)
})
// With async/await:
async function example (src, dest) {
try {
await fs.remove('/tmp/myfile')
console.log('success!')
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
}
}
