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

fs-extra is an NPM module that offers additional functionality to the fs module included with Node.js. One of these additional functions is removeSync(), which synchronously removes a file or directory and all of its contents.

To use the removeSync() function, you will first need to install the fs-extra module using npm:

index.tsx
npm install fs-extra

After installing the module, you can use removeSync() function as shown below:

index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra'); // Require the fs-extra module

try {
  fs.removeSync('/path/to/file/or/directory');
  console.log('File or directory removed successfully');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

9 lines

In this example, removeSync() is called with the path to the file or directory to be removed as an argument. The function will remove the file or directory and all of its contents. If the operation is successful, the message 'File or directory removed successfully' will be logged to the console. If there is an error (e.g. the file or directory does not exist), an error object will be printed to the console.

It is worth noting that removeSync() is a synchronous function, which means that it will block the execution of your code until the operation is complete. If you want to remove a file or directory asynchronously, you can use the remove() function from the fs-extra module instead.
