# remove(path, [callback])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Removes a file or directory. The directory can have contents. Like `rm -rf`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `path` `<String>`
|
||
|
|
- `callback` `<Function>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
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)
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
