Ensures that a directory is empty
Ensures that a directory is empty. Deletes directory contents if the directory is not empty. If the directory does not exist, it is created. The directory itself is not deleted.
It works faster than emptyDir() of fs-extra because the contents of the directory are not read before the creation of the directory.
