delete

delete

Delete files and folders and any intermediate directories if they exist (sync and async).

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i delete --save

Usage

var del = require('delete');

// async
del('tmp/foo.md', function(err) {
  if (err) console.log(err);
});

// sync
del.sync('tmp/foo.md');

// promise
del.promise('foo/bar/baz.txt')
  .then(function() {
    //=> do stuff
  });

options.force

(The force option was inspired by [grunt].)

An error is thrown if you try to delete files outside of the current working directory (cwd).

Override the default behavior:

del.sync('../foo.md', {force: true});
