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;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
