To recursively delete a directory and all its contents, use `rm` from `node:fs/promises`. This is like running `rm -rf` in JavaScript.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts delete-directory.ts icon="/icons/typescript.svg"
|
||||
import { rm } from "node:fs/promises";
|
||||
|
||||
// Delete a directory and all its contents
|
||||
await rm("path/to/directory", { recursive: true, force: true });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
These options configure the deletion behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- `recursive: true` - Delete subdirectories and their contents
|
||||
- `force: true` - Don't throw errors if the directory doesn't exist
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use it without `force` to ensure the directory exists:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts delete-directory.ts icon="/icons/typescript.svg"
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await rm("path/to/directory", { recursive: true });
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
if (error.code === "ENOENT") {
|
||||
console.log("Directory doesn't exist");
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
throw error;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
