how to use the remove function from fs-extra in javascript

To use the remove function from the fs-extra library in Node.js, first ensure that the library is installed in your project by running npm install fs-extra. Then you can require the library and call the remove function, passing in the path to the file or directory you want to delete.

Here is an example:

const fs = require('fs-extra');

// path to file or directory to delete
const pathToDelete = '/path/to/file/or/directory';

// call the remove function to delete the file/directory
fs.remove(pathToDelete, err => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('File or directory deleted!');
  }
});

The remove function also returns a Promise if you prefer to use async/await syntax:

const fs = require('fs-extra');

async function deleteFileOrDirectory(pathToDelete) {
  try {
    await fs.remove(pathToDelete);
    console.log('File or directory deleted!');
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

// call the async function
deleteFileOrDirectory('/path/to/file/or/directory');
