The emptyDirSync function from the fs-extra library takes in a directory path as its parameter and deletes all contents of the directory. The function works synchronously and will wait until all files have been deleted before it returns.

In the example code above, we first import the fs-extra library and define a directoryPath string that specifies the path to the directory we want to empty. We then call emptyDirSync with the directoryPath parameter and log a success message to the console. If an error occurs, we catch it and log the error message to the console.
